Memorial Day: It is not the reporter…


Memorial Day: It is not the reporter…

May 24, 2009

At this point approximately 1.5 million men and women in uniform have fought in Afghanistan and Iraq. For me, I’m a free speech kind of guy and I do not give a rat’s ass if you are for, or against the war.... Just remember this....

To paraphrase a quote that is attributed to Zell Miller:

It is the Soldier, not the agitator, who has given us the freedom to protest.

It is the soldier, not the reporter, who gives 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 preacher, who gives us freedom of religion.

It is the soldier, not the campus organizer who gives us freedom to assemble.

It is the soldier, not the lawyer, who gives us the right to a fair trial.

It is the soldier, not the politician, who gives us the right to vote.

It is the soldier, who salutes the flag, who makes all of this possible, day after day after day!

It is the Soldier who salutes the flag, serves beneath the flag, whose coffin is draped by the flag, who gives that protester the freedom to abuse and burn that flag.
