For the warrior
Freedom has a flavor
The protected
Will NEVER know

A SOLDIER'S PRAYER
by Maj.Gen. James B. Middleton

Lord, bless the wives
who grieve alone,
And comfort the mothers
who mourn their own,
Give solace to the fathers
who lost their sons
On foreign shores and in
places unknown.
Lord, strengthen the resolve
of we who remain
To see that they did not
die in vain.

VETERAN'S DAY
by the Rev. Dennis Edward O'Brien
USMC

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, and whose coffin is
draped by the flag,
WHO allows the protester to burn the flag???
