It is not the preacher, who has given us freedom of religion. It is not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is not the campus organizer, who is given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial. It is not the politician, who has given us the right to vote.

It is the AMERICAN Soldier, who salutes the flag, who serves under the flag and whose coffin is draped by the flag.

These Heroes Paid The Ultimate Sacrifice Protecting Our Freedom.
