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 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!!!
VETERANS KNOW THAT THE OATH OF ALLEGIANCE HAS NO EXPIRATION DATE!!!
We can be very proud of our young men and women in the service no matter where they serve!!!
God Bless them all!!!

Hello again I, myself am not a Veteran, I do have family members who are Veterans. I personally just want to share the email I received today, with all whom want to read it. I simply wanted to give a reminder of what our Service Men and Woman have done for us...We may not all agree on some past or even present Wars, but ALL WHO SERVICED AND/OR GAVE THEIR LIVES FOR OUR COUNTRY, THE USA, I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU!!!
~PEACE~

Is a lot to be proud of it. But the reality are not so thankful or matching the rights.

Not only "THANK" him or her but is my custom to sit and talk over a beer with some. Everyone who draws life in the free world needs to realize what they went through in war is for ME.
War is HELL and this is what gives us all the "rights" we have to go to college, university, protest war(s), run-down others, look beautiful (handsome), have the horrible governments we elect to steal from us and tell us they didn't only to be found out later, they did, freedom to hate God, live evil lives and deny the existence of a devil, to embrace evolution doctrines -no matter how out-dated and scientifically incorrect they are; to hate America and Canada, to ***** about Terrorism and hate the people who fight against it (George Bush) ... on and on it goes !

i don't have a commonplace. it particularly is my husband who's a veteran, no longer me. yet he could like your poem. 22 yrs interior the air stress and he talks approximately touching the face of God. who's the author? It jogs my memory of Wilfred Owens poetry of WWI I studied in severe college. He grew to become right into a British poet who grew to become into killed purely earlier the top of the conflict.

Yes every year for the past few I have spoken to my boss and one of my fellow co workers and told them thank you. My first year here they looked at me like I was crazy unfortunaly both vietnam vets and prob first time anyone had said thanks. Thank you for allowing me the freedoms which you served to protect
