John from Montville, a 26-year military veteran, was kind enough to share his thoughts on Veterans Day. He wanted us to remind everyone what Veteran's Day is all about. It has NOTHING to do with furniture or car sales. It has EVERYTHING to do with Honor, Duty, and Courage under fire. It is all about doing what is right because it IS right, not because it is "politically correct" to do so. He also passed along these thoughts from Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, USMC: The Soldier
It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press.
It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech.
It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate.
It is the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial.
It is the soldier, who salutes the flag, who serves under the flag, and whose coffin is draped by the flag, who allows the protester to burn the flag.
