[Crusader21stCentury]

I am the child playing in the sun.

I am the student following my choice of studies.

I am the parent watching my children smile and grow.

I am even the protestor disagreeing with government policy.

I could be none of these things without you.

The Men and Women of the

UNITED STATES ARMED FORCES

Thank you for all your sacrifices.

God bless you all.

It's the soldier not the reporter who gives you the freedom of the press.

It's the soldier not the poet who gives you the freedom of speech.

It's the soldier not the campus organizer who allows you to demonstrate.

It's the soldier who salutes the flag, serves the flag, whose coffin is draped with the flag that allows the protester to burn the flag!!!

"Lord, hold our troops in your loving hands. Protect them as they protect us. Bless them and their families for the selfless acts they perform for us in our time of need. Amen."
