Freedom isn’t free.

And to honor the men and women that have sacrificed for this country’s freedom, many with their very lives, Campbell County will mark Veteran’s Day with a number of events across the area.

Kevin Walden, veteran’s affairs administrator, said the local observance is important not only to recognize those who have served, but also to impact the ones that may serve in the future.

Earl Norman tucked a chaw of tobacco in his cheek and slung a handsome 12-gauge semiautomatic shotgun over his left shoulder.

“This gun kills at both ends,” said Norman, explaining the shoulder-bruising recoil of his trusty Remington Model 11-87.

Norman, who will be 70 years old next June, joined a dozen or so outdoorsman waiting to take their turn on the firing line Saturday afternoon at the turkey shoot hosted by Bill Lowe on his picturesque Elk Valley farm.
