VETERANS DAY
The Soldier
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 under the flag,
and whose coffin is draped by the flag,
who allows the protester to burn the flag.
By Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, USMC

Today's Guest
Capt. Joseph R. John (USN, ret.): He is the founder and
chairman of Combat Veterans For Congress, which has vetted and endorsed
certified combat veterans who seek election to Congress. Even though we are at
war, It is believed that fewer members serving in Congress today have actually
served in defense of the country than at any time in our history.
