Preparing for Memorial Day…

This came to me in an email with the following message;

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!!!

Makes you proud to be an AMERICAN!!!!!



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 community 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 serves
under the Flag


ETERNAL
REST GRANT THEM O LORD, AND LET PERPETUAL LIGHT SHINE UPON THEM
