Our Amazing Soliders

I love this Heritage flight picture and during it they told us this awesome poem. It really made me appreciate and think of all the soldiers, now and through out the history of the world, how wonderful they are and what great sacrifice they have made just so we can be free!! There is no better gift someone can give then to lay down his life for others.

IT IS THE SOLDIER

It is the Soldier, not the minister

Who has given us freedom of religion
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 freedom to protest.
It is the Soldier, not the lawyer

Who has given us the right to a fair trial.
It is the Soldier, not the politician

Who has given us the right to vote.

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
