A Salute To Our Veterans

It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press.

It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech.

It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the
freedom to demonstrate.

It is the soldier, who salutes the flag, who serves beneath the flag, and whose coffin is draped by the flag, who allows the protestor to burn the flag.


In war, there are lives risked and lives taken,Men and women giving their best to defend what they love;
They defend their country-Their honor
Their people.

Some call them soldiers-Others call them heroes.

Our veterans have risked their lives for us.They have lived through hell and fought with honor. Many have killed in the line of duty and regret doing so.

For every life, there is a soul.
For every soul, there is a life.
For those who have died, we show great appreciation and remembrance.
For those who live, along with them live the horrific memories of battle.
Some, memories of defeat;
Some, memories of victory.

Our veterans were more than soldiers.
They were, and still are our heroes.

Thank you this Veteran's Day.
