My father died in the war, my brother was injured in the war, mentally, and my son-in-law lost his sense of taste and smell in the war. They, like all the other veterans, have sacrificed so much, that we will never began to comprehend. These men and women did this so that our american way of life could continue, because they loved this country. Yes I not only thank them today, I thank them every day, where would we be without them.

I thank veterans, active duty personel, and visit the grave site of my father whenever I can.

My father was in the U.S. Army Air Corps and fought in WWII. I served 20 years in the U.S. Military and retired from the U.S. Coast Guard. My son has been in the U.S. Army for 11 years and is on his way back to Iraq again.

Every service man and woman has my thanks for what they do every day to protect the rights of all U.S. Citizens.

Every Veteran has my thanks for what they did to protect the rights of all U.S. Citizens.

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.

By Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, USMC

------------------------------------

THESE COLORS DON'T RUN

A protest raged on a courthouse lawn,
Round a makeshift stage they charged on,
Fifteen hundred or more they say,
Had come to burn a Flag that day.

A boy held up the folded Flag,
Cursed it, and called it a dirty rag.
An OLD MAN pushed through the angry crowd,
With a rusty shotgun shouldered proud.

His uniform jacket was old and tight,
He had polished each button, shiny and bright.
He crossed that stage with a soldier's grace,
Until he and the boy stood face to face.

"FREEDOM OF SPEECH," the OLD MAN said,
"Is worth dying for, good men are dead,
So you can stand on this courthouse lawn,
And talk us down from dusk to dawn,
But before any Flag gets burned today,
This OLD MAN IS GOING TO HAVE HIS SAY!

My father died on a foreign shore,
In a war they said would end all war.
But Tommy and I wasn't even full grown,
Before we fought in a war of our own.
And Tommy died on Iwo Jima's beach,
In the shadow of a hill he couldn't quite reach,
Where five good men raised this Flag so high,
That the WHOLE DAMN WORLD COULD SEE IT FLY.

I got this bum leg that I still drag,
Fighting for this same old Flag.
Now there's but one shot in this old gun,
So now it's time to decide which one,
Which one of you will follow our lead,
To stand and die for what you believe?
For as sure as there is a rising sun,
You'll burn in Hell 'fore this Flag burns, son"

Now this riot never came to pass
The crowd got quiet and that can of gas,
Got set aside as they walked away
To talk about what they had heard this day.
And the boy who had called it a "dirty rag,"
Handed the OLD SOLDIER the folded Flag.

So the battle of the Flag this day was won
By a tired OLD SOLDIER with a rusty gun,
Who for one last time, had to show to some,
THIS FLAG MAY FADE, BUT THESE COLORS DON'T RUN.

I too thank them profusely and sincerely. My dad served proudly in WWII and I will always be so proud of him and thankful to him and all others who serve.

Two nephews currently serving in the Army- one in Iraq, one in Korea

One nephew recently out of Air Force - was a crew chief on a B2 bomber.
