Memorial Day...a day to remember REAL American Idols

Happy Memorial Day to the "REAL" American Idols - the Veterans of the United States of America.  We remember and honor your courage, strength and profound willingness to defend our way of life. Thank you for your incredible sacrifice.



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.

A personal THANK YOU to my favorite Suwanee WWII Veteran, Mr Harold Humphries. And, my newest American Idol...Mr Wilburn Anderson. And of course, my favorite soldier of all time, my son, Barry.
