Standing tall together...



Today's horrific events in Paris bring me back to a quote about freedom that I remember from school days. It has stuck with me over the years. It seems imperative for us all to stand tall together.

"First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me." Pastor Martin Niemoller
