Thank a Soldier

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.

To all the brave men and women who have dedicated or given their lives to protecting this country and it’s freedoms:

Thank you.  You are hero’s in our eyes and forever in our hearts.

If you can read this message thank a teacher,

If you are reading it in English of your own free will THANK A SOLDIER!

SUPPORT OUR TROOPS!

  “It is better to fight for something, than to live for nothing”-General George S. Patton
