Honor Our Veterans
Thank you for your service. May it always be honored and remembered.
It is the Soldier, not the minister
Who has given us freedom of religion.
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 freedom to protest.
It is the Soldier, not the lawyer
Who has given us the right to a fair trial.
It is the Soldier, not the politician
Who has given us the right to vote.
It is the Soldier who salutes the flag,
Who serves beneath the flag,
And whose coffin is draped by the flag,
Who allows the protester to burn the flag.
---Charles Michael Province, U.S. Army,
Milan Babich gave his life because he believed in our country and in doing what was right. He gave his future for us so that we could enjoy our freedom. Milan Babich and many others like him gave their lives for us. It is up to us to NOT ever take our freedom for granted. It was dearly bought by young men like Milan. A real hero.
