Thank a Veteran

THANK A VETERAN FOR YOUR FREEDOM By J. L. Sager It was a veteran, not a reporter, Who guaranteed freedom of the press. It was a veteran, not a poet, Who guaranteed freedom of speech. It was a veteran, not a campus organizer, Who guaranteed freedom to demonstrate. It was a veteran, not a minister, Who guaranteed freedom to worship. It was a veteran, not a salesman, Who guaranteed freedom to own property. It was a veteran, not a travel agent, Who guaranteed freedom to travel. It was a veteran, not a politician, Who guaranteed freedom to vote. It is a veteran who salutes the Flag, Risks it all for the Flag, And who is buried beneath the Flag.
