Another Happy Veterans Day

What is a Veteran?

A veteran - whether active duty, retired, or national guard or reserve is someone who, at one point in his or her life, wrote a blank check made payable to "The United States of America", for an amount of "up to and including my life", and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand that.


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.

It is the VETERAN,
who salutes the Flag,
who serves under the Flag,

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


Hey, sure, I post these e mails Ive received all over the boards every Memorial and Veterans day, but I plan to contuniue to do so as I feel they are always worth repeating. THANKS VETERANS AND GOD BLESS YOU ALL

"All gave some, some gave all"


Ol John T

Bingo! and Amen.

Thank you, veterans.

I salute all who served and thank them all!

Well said John! I salute all who serve/served! Greg

Thanks to all our veterans! During the last several years of our ministry before I retired 2 years ago, I printed this as! Thanks John for the reminder.

SALUTE!!!>.............

You keep printing these things!!! We owe it to our military to stand up for them on the home front.

What you have said is absolutely true. It is the military that keeps this country free.

Thanks to our veterans regardless of when, where or how you served.

Our veterans deserve a handshake and a thank you every time we see them, not just on Veterans Day.

Lest we forget the 11th hour, the 11th day, and the 11th month. A tribute to all veterans.

Thanks for sharing this with us.

My thanks to all veterans on the YT forum.
