Army veteran Charles M. Province:
It is the Soldier, not the minister, 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.
Now me:
It is the Democrats taking away our freedom of religion.
It is the Democrats taking away our freedom of the press.
It is the Democrats taking away our freedom of speech.
It is the Democrats taking away the freedom of Republicans,
Christians and Conservatives to protest.
It is the Democrats taking away our right to a fair trial.
It is the Democrats taking away our right to vote.
It is the Democrats that rejects the flag.
It is the Democrats that advocate more war (they have
stopped, protested or delayed every attempt to withdraw from war.
It is the Democrats that don't honor the fallen in the
draped coffins.
It is the Democrats burning the flag; not Republicans,
Conservatives, or Christians.
