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 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.
It was never my privilege to serve in the armed forces of our nation, but I have only the highest regard and respect for those who did, and for the sacrifices they made. Whether you worship here at Sugarloaf or somewhere else, make sure you find a veteran next Sunday and let them know how much you appreciate their service!
