IT IS THE SOLDIER

by Father Dennis Edward O'Brien
United States Marine Corps

"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 beneath the flag,
And whose coffin is draped by the flag,
Who allows the protestor to burn the flag."

Please extend my sincere gratitude to all your loved ones that serve or served in the U.S. Military. May God richly bless them all.
