Veterans'
Day
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, who serves
beneath the flag,
and whose coffin is draped
by the flag, who
allows
the protestor to burn the flag.
