The Veteran!
----- Original Message -----
Subject: The Veteran It is the VETERAN, not the preacher, who has given us freedom of religion. It is the VETERAN, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the VETERAN, 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. It is the VETERAN, not the politician, Who has given us the right to vote. It is the VETERAN, who salutes the Flag, who serves under the Flag, Funny, our US Senate/House took 2 days off as they couldn't work. On the ABC evening news, it was reported tonight that, because of the dangers from Hurricane Isabelle approaching Washington DC, the military members assigned the duty of guarding the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier were given permission to suspend the assignment. They refused. "No way, Sir!" Soaked to the skin, marching in the pelting rain of a tropical storm, they said that guarding the Tomb was not just an assignment, it was the highest honor that can be afforded to a serviceperson. The tomb has been patrolled continuously, 24/7, since 1930. I don't usually suggest that many emails be forwarded, but I'd be DAMN proud if this one reached as many as possible. We can be very proud of our young men and women in the service no matter where they serve. God Bless them.

Kittypurr4 (AKA Tracy)
Thank you for the post and welcome to Patriotfiles as a new member. Let me take the liberty of introducing you. Less than two months after I went to Vietnam you were born and I never saw you until almost two months after I came home. You are my second daughter. I'm proud of you. I love you.
