Default So, you like living in freedom...here's why you can.

This about says it all....................in my opinion.
For anyone who drive now, or in the future in this country...here's the reason why.........see, it's truck related now..


.

It Is The Soldier


It is the Soldier, not the minister
Who has given us freedom of religion.

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 freedom to protest.

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

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

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.


Poem by Charles Michael Province, U.S. Army

© Charles M. Province, 1970, 2005


HAPPY VETERANS DAY to all you vets out there.......THANK YOU, for our freedom!!!

May I correct you or him , a bit Josh?

It's God who gave us everything, but it's the Soldier who helps us keep it.

Any god fearin soldier would admit that, right chief?

Every soldier knows that God gives them the power to make all of those things possible. Whether they admit/acknowledge it or not.

That's why I just love to hear someone say, they are an "Atheist", I've never been in a combat situation, though I was in the military briefly...............I know from first hand knowledge (VN combat vet friends of mine) that there is NO such thing as an "Atheist", when you are in combat and wondering if you are going to live or die.
