Memorial Day 2010

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 VETERA N, 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. It is the VETERAN who salutes the Flag, It is the VETERAN who serves under the Flag.

Veteran’s Day 2009 – Thank a Vet Today

Veteran’s Day 2009 – Thank a vet today. It’s the least we can all do. I plan on making some phone calls and continuing to thank each and every soldier that I see in public. I have the privilege of working with soldiers, and knowing soldiers, and being close to soldiers. What you do for us is a great example of sacrifice and service. Our words of gratitude will never be enough.

Please check out these two videos. The first, from Applebee’s is very impressive. I encourage everyone to let a veteran or active duty member know about this deal. It’s the little things that go so far. I wish I could stand in front of our local restaurant and shake all the veteran’s hands. Maybe I’ll have to make a quick stop by there today. The second video is a compilation of some pictures of our awesome heroes. (Neither video are mine.)
