Preparing for 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 politician,
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
