IT IS THE VETERAN



It is the Veteran, not the reporter,
Who has given us freedom of the press.

It is the Veteran, not the poet,
Who has given us freedom of speech

It is the Veteran, not the campus organizer,
Who has given us freedom of protest.

It is the Veteran, not the lawyer,
Who has given us the right to a fair trial.

It is the Veteran, not the politician,
Who has given us the right to vote.

It is the Veteran, who salutes our flag,
Who has served under that flag,
And whose coffin is draped by that beautiful flag,
Who allows us to be who we are, protected by that flag.
