Remembering What Is Important
My dad sent me this, and I wanted to share. I’m proud to be American and thankful for those who gave all. God bless you and your families.
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.
