A Celebration of Veterans Day -- Thank You For Your Service!


Honoring All Who Served

                           IT IS THE SOLDIER

It is the Soldier not the politician who has given us the right to vote.

It is the Soldier​, not the reporter who has given us freedom of the press.

It is the Soldier​, not the poet who has given us the freedom of speech.

It is the Soldier, not the minister who has given us freedom of religion.

It is the Soldier​, not the campus organizer who has given us the right to protest.

It is the Soldier​, not the lawyer who has given us the right to a fair trial.

It is the Soldier​, who salutes the flag, who serves beneath the flag whose coffin is draped by the flag, who allows the protester to burn the flag.
