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 under 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
