Memorial Day; honoring those who made the ultimate sacrifice

thank you, Kim, for the lovely sentiments and photos.

 
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 couldn't see some of the pictures in this post, but I liked the words.

I'm filling out my absentee ballot today. It's kind of hard to find information on some of the candidates.
