Ive posted this e mail before on Veterans and Memorial Day but its worth repeating.

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 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,

It is the veteran,

who serves under the Flag,

ETERNAL REST GRANT THEM O LORD, AND LET PERPETUAL LIGHT SHINE UPON THEM.

I don't know if you saw this in the news but it really impressed me.
Funny, our US Senate/House took 2 days off as they couldn't work
because of the expected storm.

On the ABC evening news, it was reported tonight that, because of the
dangers from Hurricane Isabelle approaching Washington DC, the
military members assigned the duty of guarding the Tomb of the Unknown
Soldier were given permission to suspend the assignment.

They respectfully declined the
offer, "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 serviceperson.

The tomb has been patrolled continuously, 24/7, since 1930.


God Bless them all!!!


Blessed Memorial Day to Yall

Thanks for the post. I just sent an email to all my family and friends saying essentially the same thing.

As during another Holiday, it is important to, "Remember The Reason For The Season".

Blessings to All.

This has been around before but is sure worth seeing over and over again. Well said.
