I admire, respect, and cherish what the Soldiers of the United States have
done to preserve our freedom.  We would be remiss, however, if we gave away
what they fought so hard for us to keep.

I heard this on the radio earlier this morning.

Regardless of the many short coming that we may feel exist within our
country; somehow, I still feel that our country ranks, in history and the
world today, as one of the top countries to live, work and raise our
families.

                            It's the Soldier



It's the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us the freedom of the
PRESS.



It's the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of the SPEECH.



It's the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to
DEMONSTRATE.



It's the soldier, not the lawyer, who given us the right to a FAIR Trial.



It's the soldier who salutes the flag, serves under the flag, and whose
coffin is draped by the flag, who gives the protester the right to burn the
flag.
