I had to go to Mountain Home Veterans Affairs Hospital in Johnson City, Tenn., today.
Spent about half a day there getting poked, listened to (heart beat), drained (urine sample), pricked (blood sample) and photographed (X-ray).
Results not in yet. Stay tuned.
Meanwhile, noticed something interesting--from a slide in the hospital orientation Power Point presentation I sat through:
"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 campus organizer, who has given us freedom to assemble."
Well put.

Wow! Interesting thought. To often we forget to link to our veterans those freedoms of speech, religion, and the right to assemble. I hope that ministers and journalists and free thinkers in our country will pause to reflect on these freedoms this Memorial Day weekend and give thanks to God and to our veterans for struggling to ensure these rights.
Nice comments, mercedes. Glad you're reading my stuff. Long live and long appreciate our U.S. veterans!
