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 campus organizer,
who has given us the freedom to demonstrate.
It is the soldier, not the lawyer,
who has given us the right to a fair trial.

It is the soldier,
who salutes the flag,
who serves under the flag,
and whose coffin is draped by the flag,
who allows the protester to burn the flag.

Freedom isn't free! Thank you to every airman, soldier, and sailor who protects our freedoms...both today and in days gone by. Those of us who enjoy the freedoms you have secured will never be able to repay you for your sacrifice. We are indebted to you.

I hope that you do not mind, Star, but I am going to use some of your latest posts, on my new still not shown yet, profile, which is not quite ready.

It will be soon.
