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 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


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.
