It has always been.....

Author: UNKNOWN


It has always been the soldier
not the reporter
who has given us Freedom of the press.

It has always been 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
who`s coffin is draped by the flag
who allows the protesters to burn the flag !
