I, Chatty Crone, want to thank all the military - past and present - even the future military - all wars - for fights that have not been named war - at peace time - men and women - who have served our country - to keep it free, We are so
THANK YOU!
I hope you have a wonderful day off and that you can do whatever you want to do. You have given that freedom to us.
THE LAUGH:
Maybe you can take a nap - Disco suggested it for you!
THE LIFT:
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.
God, Bless them all!!!
