CaolinaJoe Posted August 29, 2004 Share Posted August 29, 2004 Frank Shorter, Montreal I do beleive. "It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of thepress. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom ofspeech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given usthe freedom to demonstrate. And it is the soldier who salutes theflag, serves beneath the flag, whose coffin is draped by the flag, andwho allows the protester to burn the flag."Marine Chaplain Dennis Edward O' Brien Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaolinaJoe Posted August 29, 2004 Share Posted August 29, 2004 Sounds good. Can we get dual golds, and split the prize money?
