It’s Always Been the Soldier

It is the soldier
not the President who gives us democracy.
It is the soldier
not the Congress who takes care of us.
It is the soldier
not the Reporter who has given us Freedom of 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
who salutes the flag;
who serves beneath the flag,
and whose coffin is draped by the flag,
that allows the protester to burn the flag.

A big THANK YOU to all the soldiers who have served their country faithfully!
