Memorial Day Thoughts...

MEMORIAL DAY 2010 I received this in an email from my brother Greg last week and saved it to post today - I think it says it all. Enjoy your day and thank a veteran!!


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,


ETERNAL REST GRANT THEM O LORD,
AND LET PERPETUAL LIGHT SHINE UPON THEM.

We can be very proud of our young men and women in the service no matter where they serve.

God Bless them all!!!
