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 Please keep in mind why we honor this weekend. Many wars have been fought and too many men and women have given their lives so we may celebrate in our freedom. Let's not let the veteran stand alone when that flag passes us by in your local parade. Remember all the men and women they have known that did not come home. Raise your arm and honor those who gave us the future. Nancy **************Get trade secrets for amazing burgers. Watch "Cooking with Tyler Florence" on AOL Food.
