    The Veteran

    Scarecrow says: I just received this email below. I wish I could post the pics that came with it. It is one of the best emails I ever received. I hope you feel the same.....



    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,

    It is the veteran,
    who serves under the Flag,


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

    I don't know if you saw this in the news but it really impressed me. Funny, our US Senate/House took 2 days off as they couldn't work because of the expected storm.

    On the ABC evening news, it was reported tonight that, because of the dangers from Hurricane Isabelle approaching Washington DC, the military members assigned the duty of guarding the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier were given permission to suspend the assignment.

    They respectfully declined the offer, "No way, Sir!"

    Soaked to the skin, marching in the pelting rain of a tropical storm, they said that guarding the Tomb was not just an assignment, it was the highest honor that can be afforded to a serviceperson.

    The tomb has been patrolled continuously, 24/7, since 1930.

    I don't usually suggest that many emails be forwarded, but I'd be EXTREMELY proud if this one reached as many as possible.

    We can be very proud of our young men and women in the service no matter where they serve.

    God Bless them.
    When we gonna wake up?

    You're welcome, Sixx. Without veterans, the world would be dominated by strong men, tyrants and scum and our freedoms would just be a pipe dream.

    Glod bless them all.
