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.
I don't know if you saw this in the news but it really impressed me. Funny, our US Senate/House took 2 days off as they couldn't work because of the expected storm. On the ABC evening news, it was reported tonight that, because of the dangers from Hurricane Isabelle approaching Washington DC, the military members assigned the duty of guarding the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier were given permission to suspend the assignment. They respectfully declined the offer, "No way, Sir!" Soaked to the skin, marching in the pelting rain of a tropical storm, they said that guarding the Tomb was not just an assignment; it was the highest honor that can be afforded to a serviceperson. The tomb has been patrolled continuously, 24/7, since 1930.
Hi from UK. Just wanna stick my oar in. I gets me SO mad when men and women in the Armed Forces are doing a great job, and there are people back home that are in their safe warm houses giving them s**t. So ungrateful! I will ALWAYS support our troops (UK, American, Canadian... you know who I mean). Thanks for listening.

Anybody recognize this valuable document? It was every FNG's dream and every short-timers reality, the yearly pass on the Freedom Bird Home. Yes, I'm just a sentimental slob, well, at least the mental part fits.......
