    It's always an event like this that makes you start to feel your age. When I saw the thread I thought... Wow.. He wasn't that old. But then I still see myself as damn young. lol

    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 who salutes the flag, who serves beneath the flag, and whose coffin is draped by the flag, who allows the protester to burn the flag.
