Memorial Day

[YOM'$]

Salute to the millions who have died and served.  I'm glad there is No Man in the High Castle. 

[OZCUBAN]

To all that have served worldwide and given all that is to give and paid the ultimate price we salute you 

lest we forget ?

[SignalJoe]

This has always been favorite military poem.  It seems more appropriate daily and especially so today; 

It is the Soldier, not the minister
Who has given us freedom of religion.

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 freedom to protest.

It is the Soldier, not the lawyer
Who has given us the right to a fair trial.

It is the Soldier, not the politician
Who has given us the right to vote.

It is the Soldier who salutes the flag,
Who serves beneath the flag,
And whose coffin is draped by the flag,
Who allows the protester to burn the flag.

Charles Michael Province, U.S. Army
