The Price of Freedom Foundation tells the Life Stories of those who paid the Ultimate Price for our freedom - those who die while serving in our nation’s armed forces.

Every person who paid this price deserves to be remembered and their sacrifice honored. Their lives had meaning and potential that was cut short. They left behind families and friends who loved them, and who grieve their loss.

We believe the best way to honor their sacrifice, help those left behind through their grief, and preserve their memories for future generations is to write their life story from beginning to end, and provide archival quality, hardbound editions of the book to the next of kin at no cost to them.
