Happy Memorial Day

It is the 
VETERAN, 
not the preacher, 
who has given us freedom of religion. 

It is 
the  VETERAN, 
not the reporter, 
who has given us freedom of the press.

It is 
the  VETERAN, 
not the poet, 
who has given us freedom of speech.

It is 
the  VETERAN, 
not the campus organizer, 
who has given us freedom to assemble. 


It is 
the VETERAN, 
not the lawyer, 
who has given us the right to a fair trial. 



It is 
the  VETERAN, 
not the politician, 
Who has given us the right to vote. 

It is the 
VETERAN who 
salutes the Flag, 

It is 
the 
VETERAN
who serves 
under the Flag,

My thanks go to all who have honorably served.
