It has come to my attention that memorial day is not as it has been. we need to consider a few things before we canfigure out the true meaning of this holiday and the true reason for it.
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,
Most people see this holiday as a get off work/get out of school free ticket.
remember those who have fallen for us
did they want this to happen?
