Many eyes lately have been focused on what happened - or didn't happen - in a war that ended 30 years ago.

It's easy to forget, then, that American men and women - and our allies - have been risking their lives morning, noon and night to fight the bad guys and erase the blight of tyranny for millions of people. Their job is not done. But that doesn't mean that we shouldn't stop from time to time and marvel and what they've accomplished so far.

Take a look at just how far they've gotten us.

Let Freedom Reign.
