I was in the Army 1966-69, with one year in Nam. My father was a career GI who served in WW II and Korea (5 of his brothers were also in WW II), and even Mom was a WAC during WW II. I'm proud to have served (although I griped enough about it when I was in!), and am more proud than I can ever express of our servicemen/women of the present day. God bless 'em and protect 'em!<font size="1" color="#8e236b"><p align="center">[This message was edited by Burr Oxley on 31 May 2005 at 08:32 PM.]</p></FONT>

Thought I'd share this. The title is Soldier, but it's for all branches.
IT IS THE SOLDIER
by Father Dennis Edward O'Brien
United States Marine Corps
"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 the freedom to demonstrate.
It is the Soldier, not the lawyer,
Who has given us the right to a fair trial.
It is the Soldier, who salutes the flag,
Who serves beneath the flag,
And whose coffin is draped by the flag,
Who allows the protestor to burn the flag."
