P. 233
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment
of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;
or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or
the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to
petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”
First Amendment
U.S. Constitution
Contemplate the words of Private Robert L. Hoover, a
WWII POW, Bronze Star and Purple Heart recipient:
“LET THEIR VOICES BE HEARD.”
Soldiers Anthology
Our power of speech must be broadcast with respect for
others, self-confidence, self-respect, and dignity.
We have an obligation to be proactive. Take the
commitment to make a difference. All our Veterans
served to support and defend our liberty.
Do your part and carry their torch onward.
Our leaders must be held accountable to follow our
direction.
I have often been quoted as humbly saying:
“I continue to serve by speaking up and standing up for
what I believe is right and speaking out against what I
believe to be wrong.”
