Happy Memorial Day


(My Grandfather Wilbern Samuel Chron who served in WWII.)


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.

What a special tribute to Daddy. We are so blessed to have our military serving our country. We should never forget to pray for them.

Thanks for keeping the true spirit of Memorial Day alive. Most people just think it's about barbeques anymore.
