It Is The Veteran, Not The Reporter Who Has Given Us Freedom Of The Press. It Is The Veteran, Not The Clergyman, Who Has Given Us Freedom Of Religion. 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 To Demonstrate. It Is The Veteran, Who Followed Our Flag Into Battle; Who Defended Our Flag, Who Salutes Our Flag, And Whose Coffin Is Draped With Our Flag. It Is The Veteran, It Has Always Been The Veteran, And It Will Always Be The Veteran. Eagle Association of Central New York Thank you to all our Veterans- past, present and future for keeping us free. |
