Memorial Day

WoundedWarriorProject Today we remember all those who gave up their lives serving their country. We give honor to those that are Veterans and we remember all those that are currently serving and away from their families. 10% of all orders placed today will be donated to The Wounded Warrior Project.

This is an amazing group that helps injured servicepeople transition into civilian life with their life-changing injuries.

The Soldier
It is the soldier, not the reporter,
who has given us freedom of the press.
It is the soldier, not the poet,
who has given us freedom of speech.
It is the soldier, not the campus organizer,
who has given us the freedom to demonstrate.
It is the soldier, not the lawyer,
who has given us the right to a fair trial.
It is the soldier,
who salutes the flag,
who serves under the flag,
and whose coffin is draped by the flag,
who allows the protester to burn the flag.

Thank you for your service, today and always.
