Thank you, veterans and active soldiers, for your service. I cannot express fully even the profoundness of the gratitude I feel for your sacrifice and the sacrifice of those who are no longer among us.
"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."
-- Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, USMCAgain- thank you.

In some ways, so-called "liberals" are not liberal at all. They want to thwart the liberties you mentioned by lessening soldier activity. REAL freedom comes from obedience. That's why soldiers are indeed the REAL providers of our nation's liberty. How could an American burn his own flag? Unbridled ignorance is all I can assume. 'tain't good. Very fitting quote you got there.
Rob, I absolutely love the quote you posted! I just "stole it" and put it on our family's military blog. Thanks!!
