It is the soldier not the politician who has given us free democracy
It is the soldier not the poet who has given us freedom of speech
It is the soldier not the editor who has given us freedom of the press
It is the soldier not the bishop who has given us religious freedom
It is the soldier not the activist who has given us freedom to demonstrate
It is the soldier who salutes the flag, whose coffin is draped by the flag and whose ultimate sacrafice allows the protestor to burn the flag.
