It is 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 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.
Who are the Heroes?
According to Oliver North, “Heroes aren’t athletes who set new sports records or Hollywood actors who make daring films or politicians who make bold promises. Heroes are people who place themselves at risk for the benefit of others.
“My Heroes wear flak jackets, flight suits and combat boots, and we owe them a debt of gratitude. America enjoys freedom today because our true heroes, the men and women of the United States Armed Forces, are willing to sacrifice their tomorrows for us.
“This Veteran’s Day, please pay tribute to the bravery and sacrifice of the men and women who wear our nation’s uniform. To all our active duty Armed Forces and all our veterans, we at Freedom Alliance salute you and thank you for your service.”
Freedom Alliance Supports Our Troops in many ways. You can go to the website and write a message to a service member serving abroad or recuperating in a military hospital in the U.S. They will print it on a card and send it for you. For more information go to:
