found this on the goat
It is the soldier, not the minister
Who has given us freedome of religion.
It is the soldier, not the reporter,
Who has given us freedome of the press.
It is the soldier , not the poet,
Who has given us freedome of speech.
It is the soldier, not the campus organiser,
Who has given us freedome 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 who's coffin is draped in the flag,
Who allows the protester to burn the flag.
