Another Memorial Day is upon us. A chance to break out the grill, cook up some dogs, get our first sun burn of the summer, but most importantly it is a day to remember those who have fallen in battle to protect everything that America stands for! I feel very fortunate to be here where I am today, and I know I have many men and women to thanks who have made the greatest sacrafice that one can make. I know many veterans, luckily most of them like my grandfathers, my uncles, my cousin, my friends, and my community members are still with us. However, my great uncle Timmy was lost in WWII fighting in Europe. He was buried there on foreign soil and never made it home. My father was named after his uncles and today my father Tim still carries Timmy's memory everyday. So today I want to thank everybody who has fought to make this place our home!
It is the VETERAN,
not the preacher, who has given us the freedom of religion.
It is the VETERAN,
not the reporter, who has given us the freedom of the press.
It is the VETERAN,
not the poet, who has given us the freedom of speech.
It is the VETERAN,
not the campus organizer, who has given us the 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.
NEVER FORGET! NOW GO ENJOY THIS BEAUTIFUL DAY AND IF YOU NEED ANYTHING WE'RE HERE TILL 5PM.
