    Freedom's Source

    This Memorial Day weekend our country once again pays tribute to the brave men and women who have fought and continue to fight for our freedom. To honor them, here is a famous poem, by an unknown author:


    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.

    Were it not for the brave...
    there would be no land of the free.
