Let Us Pause to Remember:
“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,
Who salutes the flag,
Who serves beneath the flag,
And whose coffin is draped by the flag,
Who allows the protester to burn the flag.”
— Father Denis Edward O’Brien, USMC

Nice post. My exhusband, son and many family members are either ex military or current military.
This was very nice. A lot of male relatives were in the service.
