Too often some folks do not realize the task of the military, police departments, or fire departments until they personally need their services. Too many times men and women have died as Heroes, defending this great United States of America, crawling into a window to retrieve a child in a burning house, taking shots from a mad man as the person in uniform thinks not of him or herself, but took an oath to defend.

It's the Soldier, not the reporter who has given us the freedom of the press.

It's the Soldier, not the poet, who has given us the freedom of speech.

It's the soldier, not the politicians that ensures our right to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.

It's the Soldier who salutes the flag, who serves beneath the flag, and whose coffin is draped by the flag.
