Wednesday Hero

Pvt. Jerod R. Dennis
19 years old from Antlers, Oklahoma
United States Army 3rd Battalion, 504th Parachute Infantry Regiment
April 25, 2003

I couldn't find an actual bio for Pvt. Jerod R. Dennis but I did find this memorial page, with stories from friends and family, and I wanted to share something that's on it.

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 poet, who has given us freedom of speech.
It is the veteran, not the campus organizer, who has given us freedom to assemble.
It is the veteran, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial.
It is the veteran, not the politician, who has given us the right to vote.
It is the veteran, who salutes the Flag, who serves under the Flag, whose coffin is draped by the Flag.

These brave men and women have given their lives so that others may enjoy the freedoms we get to enjoy everyday. For that, I am proud to call them Hero.

If you have a loved who has served or is currently serving in the armed forces, and would like for me to profile them as a Wednesday Hero, I would be proud to. Just email me with some info and a photo.
