THE VETERAN
"It is the Veteran, not the Preacher, who gave us Freedom of Religion.
It is the Veteran, not the Reporter, who gave us Freedom of the Press.
It is the Veteran, not the Poet, who gave us Freedom of Speech.
It is the Veteran, not the Campus Organizer, who gave us Freedom to Assemble.
It is the Veteran, not the Lawyer, who has given us the Right to a Fair Trial.
It is the Veteran, not the Politician, who has given us the Right to Vote.
It is the Veteran who solutes the Flag, who serves under the Flag,
And whose coffin is draped by the Flag."
