Thank you for posting this!

I hope you are all having a great Memorial Day weekend!

As we fire up our barbeques, enjoy the company of our friends and families in whatever manner we chose, let’s be mindful of the following while celebrating this holiday together.



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.

God Bless them all!!!


From a Veteran to all of my Bothers & Sisters-in-Arms who have selflessly served OUR Country and those currently serving . . . THANK YOU!!!
