To all who have served in the armed forces of the greatest nation the world has ever known.

THANK YOU.

It’s the Soldier, not the reporter
who has given us the freedom of the press.

It’s the Soldier, not the poet,
who has given us the freedom of speech.

It’s the Soldier, not the politicians
that ensures our right to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.

It’s the Soldier who salutes the flag,
who serves beneath the flag,
and whose coffin is draped by the flag.

If you can read this – thank a teacher!
If you are reading it in English – thank a veteran!

On this veterans day, remember those who gave a good part of their lives in service. No matter what they are doing now, at one point they risked it all for US.

Thank you from my entire family.
