It Is the Veteran

 

Veteran's Day 

 

"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."

    1. I've never set a default as far as anyone commenting--I didn't know it was possible. I thought people with Blogger accounts just need to sign in before commenting. This is a question for my wife, the internet genius!
