Happy Veteran's Day. As a nation we should be so grateful for those who were willing to serve our country. My parents sent me an email that I thought was worth sharing - I am not sure who credit goes to on this one.
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.
Thanks to my grandfathers, dad, father-in-law, and my 2 sisters who served in the military. Their sacrifices have helped make our freedom possible. Don't forget to say thank you to a veteran today for all the freedoms we enjoy. Our country has its share of problems - which have certainly been highlighted lately - but there is no place I would rather live.
