Ricketts Kids Reunion July 16

Memorial Day 2011

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,

It is
the
VETERAN
who serves
under the Flag,

GRANT THEM O LORD, ETERNAL REST AND LET PERPETUAL LIGHT SHINE UPON
THEM.

This year's Ricketts Kids Reunion!

Just a Farmer

By Helen C. Coon

Just a Farmer
"Just a Farmer", you said
And I laughed 'cause I knew
All the things that farmers
Must be able to do.

They must study the land,
Then watch the sky
And figure just when
Is the right time and why -

To sow and to plant
To buy and to sell
To go to the market
With cattle and well -

You know the books
That farmers must keep
To pay all those taxes
And be able to sleep.

And you know the fixin'
That farmers must do
When machines like mad monsters
Blow a gasket or two.

I guess when God needed
Folks to care for His earth
He chose "just farmers"
'Cause He knew their true worth.
