Title: The Veteran
THE VETERAN
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 the freedom to
assemble.
It is the VETERAN,
not the lawyer,
Who has given us the
right to a fair trail.
It is the VETERAN, not the
politician,
Who has given us the right to vote.
It is the VETERAN,
Who salutes the Flag,
who serves under the Flag,
Eternal rest
grant them O Lord,
And let perpetual light shine upon them.
(Nov. 2004
Indianapolis Medical Society BULLETIN)
I have no idea who authored the above. But to all
veterans: THANK YOU!
May your 'day' be blessed.
