Local WWII veteran: remember the cost of freedom

Published: July 1, 2011, 4 a.m.

Author and educator Michael Freeland often says, "Freedom isn't free." And he is acutely aware of the cost. Freeland is a veteran of the Second World War; he was a combat medic with the 82nd Airborne and saw action during the Battle of the Bulge. He's also written a new book, Time and the River, and he joined us in the studio to talk about it.
