It is the VETERAN, not the preacher, who has enabled us to exercise freedom of religion. It is the VETERAN, not the reporter, who has allowed for the freedom of the press. It is the VETERAN, not the poet, who has protected our freedom of speech. It is the VETERAN, not the campus organizer, who has guaranteed our freedom to assemble.

Therefore as God’s chosen people holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience.
