We in this country owe a great debt of gratitude to those who sacrificed their lives so that we could live free.
We can start to pay that debt by not forgetting, by remembering what they did and what they stood for.
Listen to these words by Charles M. Province:
"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;
And it is the Soldier--who salutes the flag, ...Who serves the flag, and .....Whose coffin is draped by the flag --
Who allows the protester to burn the flag."
I, promise to do my bestRemember rockets red glare ..... bombs bursting in air ......gave threw the night that our flag is still there.
Our forefathers reminder of a price to be paid and responsibility to inherit the United States.
Rockets red glare bombs bursting in air ......... Words fallen on ears unwilling to hear. ....deaf no more we all know now the price of freedom the price of war.
