It is the Soldier, not the reporter who has given us the freedom of the press;

It is the Solder, not the poet who has given us the freedom of speech;

It is the Soldier, not the campus organizer who has given us freedom to demonstrate

It is the Soldier-- Who salutes the flag; Who serves beneath the flag; and whose coffin is draped by the flag,

Who allows the protestor to burn the flag.

Gold is good in it's place, but living, brave, patriotic men are better than gold. - Abraham Lincoln

"Over the years, the United States has sent many of its fine young men and women into great peril to fight for freedom beyond our borders. The only amount of land we have ever asked for in return is enough to bury those that did not return." -- Colin Powell
