Dear USMC Todd.

Your being there is the only reason I can send this 'THANK YOU' from all of us here in our deepest apreciation without fear of retaliation against ourselves, our wives and children, and our way of life.

YOU, and those like you give us this ability to live our lives as free men and women - able to hold our heads high and call ourselves "Americans."

Never, ever let anyone or anything convince you otherwise.

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
