It's the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of
the press. It's the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of
speech. It's the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us
the freedom to demonstrate. It's the soldier, not the lawyer, who has
given us the right to a fair trial. It's the soldier, who salutes the
flag, serves under the flag and whose coffin is draped by the flag, who
gives the protestor the right the burn the flag. __Father Dennis
