Memorial Day – Something to Remember – It Is The Veteran….

Fewer and fewer of the American population can relate to the sacrifices made by the men and women of the GREATEST GENERATION during  World War II. Their sacrifices and the sacrifices of their families, simply cannot be forgotten.

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 served under the flag.
