I have been reading some issues here that really provoked something inside of me. Perhaps many of us might want to to read this as a reminder of how fortunate we are that come from a society rich with democracy and freedoms.
November 11 is REMEMERANCE DAY. Join with me on that day for 2 minutes of silence to reflect all of those ( regardless of whom, or where ) who served for a better life today and those who died for what we have today, none of which is to be taken for granted.
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 freedom of a fair trial.
It is the VETERAN , not the politician,
Who has given us freedom 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.
