Veteran Honor

"No one has greater love [no one has shown stronger affection] than to lay down (give up) his own life for his friends." John 15:13(Amplified)
 
Father Dennis Edward O'Brien of the Marine Corps made this quote years ago. It still applies today. 
 
It is the Soldier, not the reporter 
Who has given us freedom of the press.

It is the Soldier, not the poet,
Who has given us freedom of speech.

It is the Soldier, not the campus organizer,
Who has given us the freedom to demonstrate.

It is the Soldier, not the lawyer,
Who has given us the right to a fair trial.

It is the Soldier, who salutes the flag,
Who serves beneath the flag,
And whose coffin is draped by the flag,
Who allows the protestor to burn the flag.

      Today is Veteran's day (or Armistice Day), is a day that in 1918 on the 11th hour, on the 11th day, in the 11th month officially ended World War I. Since that day, we have set this day to honor the Veteran's who have served in the wars of many nations.
