Veteran's Day

As some of you may know, a friend of mine, Craig Robinson is serving overseas. He has been sending mass email updates to everyone. I hope he doesn't mind - but I wanted to share how he ended his email today.

CRAIG'S CHRONICLES:
I will leave you today with a poem that the Chaplin read at the prayer breakfast this morning.

American Soldier
It's the Soldier, not the reporter,
who has given us the freedom of the press.

It's the Soldier, not the poet,
who has given us the freedom of speech.

It's the Soldier, not the politicians,
that ensures our right to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.
It's the Soldier who salutes the flag, who serves beneath the flag,
and whose coffin is draped by the flag.

Thanks Craig - and everyone - past, present and future!
