It is the soldier,
not the reporter,
who has given us
freedom of the press.

It is the soldier,
not the campus organizer,
who has given us
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
