Preparation for Memorial Day




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.

You included russ

Remember all the "Fallen Soliders"as well. Memorial day is especially for all of soldiers that didnt make it home. I would like to remember my best friend Thomas Strickland of The US National Guard who gave the ultimate sacrafice in Iraq some 4 years ago. He was the victim of roadside IED that flipped his hummer and ultimately took his life. RIP Thomas. You will be missed.

Amen to that brother :USA1:

you're right J... included are a lot of my brothers.

I don't cry that often, hardly ever actually. But TAPS tears me up every time it's played.

Thanks to all who are serving, or have served!!
