Freedom 250 @Freedom250 - Video: Gold Star mother Karen Vaughn at Arlington National Cemetery:
“Throughout my life, freedom was a concept, a moment in history, a story about brave people who refused to bow any longer to the chains of tyranny. It was something we celebrated on the Fourth of July. But on August 6, 2011, freedom became a sentence that began with, ‘We regret to inform you.’ Freedom became the silence left behind by a boy whose laughter filled every room he ever entered.
Freedom became a folded flag placed in my arms on behalf of a grateful nation. My son had given his life for me, for us, for every American who wakes up under the protection every day of the red, white, and blue.”

Freedom 250 @Freedom250 - Video: Gold Star mother Karen Vaughn, whose son, U.S. Navy SEAL Aaron Carson Vaughn, was killed in action in Afghanistan on August 6, 2011:
“The most important thing I will ever tell you about Aaron is this: He had a personal and deep relationship with Jesus Christ. And that’s why you see hope, joy, and resolve on this mother’s face today—because I know that one day, I will hold my son again.”

Freedom 250 @Freedom250 - As we approach America’s 250th anniversary, we honor heroes like Medal of Honor recipient Jim McCloughan.
May we never forget the cost of freedom or the character of those who defended it. 🇺🇸

Freedom 250 @Freedom250 - Video: It’s not enjoy the long weekend, it’s I thank God for my life. For the Stars and Stripes. May freedom forever fly. Let it ring. Salute the ones who died. The ones who gave their lives. So we don’t have to sacrifice. All things we love. @zacbrownband
