The highest honor that can be paid for service and sacrifice is not a salute

It is I think, to actually exercise the rights that
that service and those sacrifices have protected for your use.

Imagine coming home from a tour of duty anywhere,
there defending the rights of human beings to speak freely,
assemble freely and petition their government freely,
and then going to a public forum and finding it unused.

Someone else first concluded;

Just because you cannot do every thing at once,
does not mean you cannot do some thing at once.
Honor service and sacrifice by doing something at once.

Make use of the rights you have.   Enjoy the free exercise of
your Constitutionally protected human rights to assemble,
speak and petition your government, in honor of those
whose service and sacrifice made it possible.

Honor service and sacrifice by standing up and speaking up
every chance you get.
