But fame is theirs - and future days;
On pillar'd brass shall tell their praise;
Shall tell - when cold neglect is dead -
"These for their country fought and bled."
-Philip Freneau
Even if you disagree with war or the reasons for it, believe in the people who have fought in it. Thank a veteran for their service to our country today.
Thank them for putting their lives on the line when they were called upon to bear arms.
Thank them for their courage.
Thank them for making this the land of the free and home of the brave.
And always rememeber that freedom is never free.
Thank you for your service.
