A friend sent this in an email to me earlier this week. I wanted to share it with my readers as we celebrate Memorial Day. Perhaps it will help us remember the reason for this holiday.
The photos are of Memorials we have visited in our travels this year.
MIA/POW Memorial, Robins AFB, Georgia |
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,
We can be very proud of our young men and women in the service no matter where they serve.
God Bless them all!!!
Andersonville Cemetery |
Makes you proud to be an AMERICAN!!!!
