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 give us the right to vote.
It is the VETERAN
who salutes the flag.
It is the VETERAN
who serves under the flag
I received this in an email earlier this weekend and it was too perfect not to share.
Just this past week, I learned of 2 soldiers who lost their lives very recently. One wife had to bury her husband on their anniversary. I know it was a choice and lifestyle they chose but it doesn't make it any easier - for anyone.
I am so very thankful for the men and woman willing to serve in our military and to their parents, spouses and children willing to support them.
