Thankful 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.


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

It is the VETERAN who serves under the American flag.

I am grateful for all who have served this nation from our Founding Fathers to today.  And a special big "THANK YOU" to my young neice Samantha who just a few months ago joined the Marines!  The whole family is very proud of you.  HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY!

~May God bless the Republic of The United States of America
