IT'S THE SOLDIER

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

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

-Father D. E. O'Brien

Continued Prayers for our Military. Prayers for those who lost their lives and their loved ones. ladtx, I am so happy to hear your son is OK. I can't even begin to imagine what you went through over the weekend. God Bless All.

Wish everyone understood where our freedoms come from as well as Father D. E. O'Brien.

Is your cousin alright, DH? I just found out last week that I have young cousin over in Iraq now. He was in Germany but after he came home from his duty there was sent over to Iraq.
