– Herbert Hoover -
Delaware Veterans Post #2,
Inc.
A Veteran - whether active duty, retired, national guard or reserve--
is someone
who, at one point in his or her life,
wrote a blank
check made payable to "The
United States of America",
for an
amount of "up to and
including their life".
That is
Honor,
and it seems
there are way too many people in this country...
who no
longer understand that simple fact.

A Thought to live with:
"It is
the soldier, not the reporter who has given us the freedom of the
press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us the freedom
of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who gives us
the freedom to demonstrate. 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."
-- Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, Sergeant, USMC
Lord,
Give me a sense of humor,
give me the grace to see a joke. To get some humor out of life,
and pass it on to other folk.
