I received an incredible email that was so emotionally powerful I thought I'd recreate it here in by story blog. Hopefully, others will share this because it says it all. 

REMEMBER THIS!

It is the 

VETERAN,

 not the reporter, 

  who has given us freedom of the press.

 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.

 not the politician, 

Who has given us the right to vote. 

It is

the VETERAN 

who salutes the Flag.
