It is the Veteran, Not the reporter, Who has given us freedom of the press.
It is the Veteran, Not the poet, Who has given us freedom of speech.
It is the Veteran, Not the lawyer, Who has given us the right to a fair trial.
It is the Veteran, Not the police, Who has given us the right to be secure in our persons.
It is the Veteran, Not the campus organizer, Who has given us the right to demonstrate.
It is the Veteran, Not the politician, Who defends our Nation
It is the Veteran, Who salutes the flag, Who served under the flag, Who gave an oath to support and defend the Constitution and our Nation against all enemies, foreign and domestic
It is the Veteran, Willing to give his or her life to protect your freedoms, Whose coffin is draped by the flag.
It is the Veteran, With faith in God who has given us all our Freedoms.
