IT IS THE SOLDIER
It is the Soldier, not the minister
Who has given us freedom of religion.
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 freedom to protest.
It is the Soldier, not the lawyer
Who has given us the right to a fair trial.
It is the Soldier, not the politician
Who has given us the right to vote.
It is the Soldier who salutes the flag,
Who serves beneath the flag,
And whose coffin is draped by the flag,
Who allows the protester to burn the flag.

I can't agree any more than I already do with this.
It's always been the Soldier and not anyone else that have given us our rights. Without them, I wouldn't even want to imagine where we'd be as a country.

Yes if we were left to our politicians we are in big trouble as they have no backbone to win against our enemies. Hooray for the vets and current military and thank you.
