It is the VETERAN’s who have honored their country since 1776 with their service.
Today, Veteran’s Day is when we celebrate on this anniversary of the first Armistice day, the end of World War I, whose peace became official on on November 11 at 11am – thus the 11/11/11
They are our grandfathers, our fathers, our brother and uncles, our mothers, our sisters and aunts, and all our family of friends – we have honor this day
May we always
Remember
It is the VETERAN, not the preacher,
who has given us freedom of religion.It is the VETERAN, not the courts
who has given us the right to keep and bear armsIt 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,
and serves under the flag.
There are many ways we can honor those who served, but may we never leave our Veteran’s standing alone.
