Do you remember when television came in a box on four legs? Well you will enjoy this slide show – do stay on it until the end with your speakers on – the last 2 slides are the critical ones- love to hear your comments. I have repeated those two slides here – they are so important for us to remember.
It is the Soldier
Not the President
Who gives us Democracy
It is the Soldier
Not the Congress
Who takes care of us
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 Demonstrate
It is the Soldier
Who salutes the flag
Serves beneath the flag
Whose coffin is draped by the flag
That allows the protester to burn the flag
Father Dennis O’Brian
Chaplain, US Marine Corps
The program opens in Microsoft Powerpoint with sound. So if you have that software just click on slideshow from current slide or from beginning and it will begin to play. Take a moment out of your busy day to remember and give thanks.
In tribute to all of our women and men in uniform around the world who keep us safe, protect our liberty and create our democracy. We thank you.
