"Courage is almost a contradiction in terms. It means a strong desire to live taking the form of readiness to die." ― G.K. Chesterton
It is the Soldier,
not the reporter,
who has given us freedom of press.
It is the Soldier,
not the poet,
who has given us freedom of speech.
It is the Soldier,
not the campus organizer,
who gives us 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 protester to burn the flag.
