The True Meaning of Memorial Day

My Aunt Bern sent me these wonderful reminders of what Memorial Day really means --it's not all about hot dogs and hamburgers --even though the grub brings us together to remember these heroes.  Read on:
      
          MEMORIAL  DAY

         Keep it
moving, please,  even if you've seen it before.

It is the 
VETERAN, 
not the  preacher, 
who has given us freedom of  religion.


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. 




We can be very
proud of our young men and  women in the service no matter where they serve.  
   
    
              Makes you  proud to be an  AMERICAN!!!!!
