“Freedom is not free, as funeral directors, we have the honor of commerating the lives of those who have sacrificed for us, states Thomas M. Ralph . Mr. Cappetto’s work captures the gift given by these veterans in their own words, . . . before they cannot tell their own story. It is so important that this is preserved for future generations.
