The Soldier
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
On September 11th we were very specially chosen to fly flags to honor those who perished on this dreadful day in 2001 and to celebrate our Patriotism. Justin and I are so proud to be Americans and so honored to carry the Flag for all those who need this. May all of you be blessed and may God be with you. We are proud to serve our Country and especially each and every one of you.
Thank you for the support and love you have given us we really appreciate it.
