Quote:It is the Soldier, not the ministerCharles Michael Province US Army
Who has given us freedom of religion.
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 freedom to protest.
It is the Soldier, not the lawyer
Who has given us the right to a fair trial.
It is the Soldier, not the politician
Who has given us the right to vote.
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.
Easy to spot these gentlemen ( Korean War ), they will be wearing something Patriotic and look 10-15 years younger than they are. Take any opportunities you can to chat. Invite them in front of you at USPS ( or drop back ) and be ready for some fun stories and opinions you may not have asked for. Hehe.
