I have this on a shirt I got when I was in ROTC. It is by far my most favorite poem about our soldiers!! May we remember all who serve, have served, and have died protecting this country that we love! God Bless Them!
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 freedom to demonstrate.
It's the Soldier, not the lawyer,
who has given us the right to a fair trail.
And it's the Soldier who salutes the flag,
who serves the flag, whose coffin is draped in the flag,
that allows the protester to burn the flag.
~Father D. E. O'Brien
To you all, THANK YOU for the job you do or have done!
