Who gives the Freedoms?

By Johann • Mar 26th, 2008 • Category: Misc • (1,080 views) • No Responses

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 the 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 beneath the flag,

And whose coffin is draped by the flag,
Who allows the protestor to burn the flag.

It is the GENERALS who take away these freedoms!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
