Forget Michael Jackson, Forget Mark Sanford, Remember This

This Picture is Worth

1000 Million Words (minimum!) . .

We truly take a lot for granted. Forget the football 'heroes' and movie 'stars'. Pass this on so that all may know the price of freedom,

Piffle. Go worship your resident warmongers if you like. Bus drivers have dangerous service jobs too - and they don't even carry guns.

It is the Soldier

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.

When it comes to repaying the all who have sacrificed some and the families of the some who have sacrificed all, saying "Thank you" on Veteran's Day and "Thank you and goodbye" on Memorial Day is only the beginning.

What have YOU sacrificed today to help the world?
