‘Freedom isn’t free’: People pay their respects to fallen heroes at Chalmette Cemetery

CHALMETTE, La.– The Chalmette Cemetery is a focal point this Memorial Day weekend.  At this place you can honor and show respect for those who lost their lives in battle fighting for our country.

Today folks went to the Chalmette Cemetery to honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.

John Trigas decided to come to the Chalmette Cemetery to document these war heroes through photography.

He said, “Well it has to do with our freedom.  There are graves across the entire United States that show that freedom isn’t free, it costs blood, lives, and conviction.”
