THE MILITARY WARRIOR
  It is the Military Warrior, not the reporter, who has given us the freedom of the press.
  It is the Military Warrior, not the poet, who has given us the freedom of speech.
  It is the Military Warrior, not the politicians, that ensures our right to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.
  It is the Military Warrior who salutes the flag, who serves beneath the flag, and whose coffin is draped by the flag.
  - Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, Sergeant, USMC

 A CREED ....Edgar Guest
  Lord, let me not in service lag. Let me be worthy of our flag. Let me remember when I'm tired, The heroes who have died.
 
  In freedom's name and in my way, Teach me to be as brave as they, In all I am, in all I do, Unto our flag I would be true.
 
  For God and country let me stand, Unstained of soul, clean of hand. Teach me to serve and guard and love, The starry flag that flies above.
