Veterans Day

I am thinking about our soldiers so far away from home today. They are in a place that I would never want to be. I want them all to come home safely. I found this anonymous poem on the internet and wanted to share this.

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 has actively served under the Flag, and has preserved and protected our Flag and Who is buried under that Flag that has given us our Freedom - at, in many cases, the ultimate cost!

We love and miss you guys and hope you get to come back home soon!!!
