Military Honor Roll

It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us the freedom of the press.

It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech.

It is the soldier, not the agitator, who has given us the freedom to protest.

It is the soldier who salutes the flag, serves beneath the flag, whose coffin is draped by the flag, who gives that protester the freedom to abuse and burn that flag.

--Former Senator Zell Miller of Georgia

It has been accurately stated: “Freedom is not free.” To those of our Family who have responded to our Country’s call, donned its uniform, left family and friends to bear arms, and placed yourselves in harms way, we express our deepest thanks and eternal gratitude.
