Ted Cruz reminds us….It's the Soldier...

Breitbart ^ | Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, USMC

"It is the soldier, not the reporter, Who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, Who has given us freedom of speech.

It is the soldier, not the organizer, Who gave us the 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 protester to burn the flag."

Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, USMC

The Left is already going after Cruz hard...he is the “new McCarthy”...he’s not a “real” Hispanic...he’s a liar.

Just the usual stuff...it’s how they “got” Palin...ABCBSNBCNNPR have their marching orders, and it’s begun. They will try and destroy his reputation by the next presidential election cycle.

Pleasantly happy to find someone I voted for living up to what he promised.

Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

I pray to St. Michael the Archangel every night so that he will thwart the evil doers in our country.

The actual author of the poem is Charles M. Province not Father O'Brien.

Fr. O’Brien used this [What is a Veteran?] and many other writings concerning veterans. The poem you are referring to seems to be the main piece of literature that people refer to. He was always quick to state that he was not the author, but did find the text poignant. I am sorry to say we do not know the original author,

***************

And Senator begins by given recognition to the author Charles M Province.

CHARLES M. PROVINCE

Note the following from the above:

Webmaster’s Note: Mr. Charles M. Province has contacted me with the request that due credit
be given to his authorship of the poem, “It Is the Soldier”, which has, to my knowledge, for
several years been attributed to Father Denis Edward O’Brien, USMC. Mr. Province has advised
that Father O’Brien once sent a copy of the poem to “Dear Abby” and it was printed erroneously
giving credit to Father O’Brien for writing it. It is at that point that the authorship became clouded.
I reproduce this information in the hope of ensuring Mr. Province receives full, appropriate and
most deserved credit for his wonderful piece.

I'm well aware of that as I included the same hyperlink in my post.
