Each and every breath of fresh air that we take for granted is made possible because of the sacrifices of heroes like Army National Guard Specialist Issac Johnson. Our most sincere condolences are sent from our Douglasville Georgia home to the family and friends of this American Hero. It is because of his willingness serve in harms way that allow us to live free. He served as a defender of our freedom, may he now rest in peace with God, his mission is complete.
We pray that the Lord above lay his healing hands on the family of this Hero and comfort them during this emotional time. Give them the strength to carry on while remembering their fallen Hero evermore.

Freedom isnt free.

I stand for you, as you stood for me,
Because as we all know, Freedom isn’t free.
A long time ago, I was a young soldier too.
Back then there was no “Welcome Home”,
And certainly no “Thank You”.
I’m here to make sure that history doesn’t repeat
For it is only by the Grace of God that I stand here today, on my own two feet.
You see, I have scars, even a blown-out knee, Yet I stand with this flag,
Because your service, your sacrifice,
Means that much to me.
I pray that you'll come home, alive and whole,
I’ll pray if you come home flag-draped,
In a cargo hold.
I thank you young soldier, for all that you do.
You stood for me. Today, I stand for you.
