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 community 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
who serves
under the Flag
As the proud daughter of a Vietnam Veteran I wish you all a peaceful Memorial Day as we remember those who served, and continue to serve our wonderful country. God bless them all.
