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 community 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.
Thanks to everyone who sent this.

This, minus the guy with the dog picture, was going to be my Memorial Day post. I hope you don't mind the duplication, but I feel that it should be reproduced everywhere so that everyone hears the message.
