In an age when memorial playing fields are demolished and Corporate Banks are honored instead, each May we still remember those who sacrificed for our country.
It is Our Soldier by Charles Province
It is our soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press.
It is our soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech.
It is our soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to
demonstrate.
It is our soldier, not the chaplain, who has given us freedom of religion.
It is our soldier who salutes the flag, and whose coffin is draped by the flag.
Who allows the protester to burn the flag.
