The Veteran










Keep it

moving, please, even if you've seen it before.




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.












I'd be

EXTREMELY proud if this email reached as many as possible. We can be very

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









God

Bless them all!!!

Thanks, Missy!

I am so proud of all the people in my family that have served. My dad and step-dad, my daughter, my brothers, my nephews, cousins, and various friends. What would we do without them?

Awesome! Hope people remember, too, the ones serving right now.
Memorial Day has a second significance for me since my Mimi passed away three years ago on Memorial Day. Love and miss that ol' girl. Born on 4th of July and died on Memorial Day~ now that's patriotism to the end. :)
