Veterans' Day

A warm thank you to all of our veterans who have worn the uniform and fought under the American flag. I cannot possibly begin to articulate all the gratitude I and every other patriotic American feel on this day. But I can say that we as a nation are all completely aware of the fact that if it weren’t for the brave there would be no land of the free. Thank you once again and God Bless each and every one of you.

The Soldier

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 under the flag, and whose coffin is draped by the flag, who allows the protester to abuse and burn the flag.
