It’s the Soldier, not the reporter, who gives 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 or community organizer, who has given us freedom to demonstrate.

 

It’s the Soldier, not the lawyer, who insures the right to a fair trial.

 

It’s the Soldier, not the politician, who gives us liberty.

 

It’s the Soldier, not the government, who dies in defense of the defenseless.

 

It’s the Soldier who salutes the flag, who serves the flag, whose coffin is draped in the flag, allowing the protester to burn the flag.

 

 

According to the Declaration of Independence, it is our Creator , not the government, who endows us with unalienable rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, all preserved and defended by the American soldier throughout our history.
