    A poem everyone should read. It Is The Soldier

    This is a good poem to keep in mind on our day of independance.

    "It Is The Soldier"

    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 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 under the flag
    Whose coffin is draped by the flag and
    Who allows the protestor to burn the flag.

            To all of the AO veterans, and active members of the United States Armed Forces, I wish to thank you for our freedom.

              I would also like to show my gratitude for Past, present, and future soldiers of our Armed forces. Without their service we would probably be a third world country or be speaking some foreign language. Thank you!
