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.
who serves under the Flag,
On the ABC evening news, it was reported that, because
of the dangers from Hurricane Isabelle approaching the Washington
DC area that our US Senate & House Of Rep. took 2 days
off.
The military members assigned the duty of guarding the Tomb
of the Unknown Soldier were given permission to suspend
their assignment.
They refused. "No way, Sir!"
Soaked to the skin, marching in the pelting rain of a tropical
storm, they said that guarding the Tomb was not just an
assignment, it was the highest honor that can be afforded
to a service person.
The tomb has been patrolled continuously, 24/7, since 1930.
We can be very proud of our young men and women in the
service no matter where they serve.
May God Bless them all !!!
