The Long Weekend

As we get ready to enjoy our long holiday weekend keep the reason in mind...


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.
Have a great weekend, and please remember to thank a Veteran. Kona and I will be saying thank you to everyone as we make our regular visit to the Veteran's Administration Hospital today.
