4,000 cadets observe a moment of silence for those who died.
We are at war. Just last week, the nineteen year-old son of a faculty member, died;
Hardly a year out of highschool.
Freedom is not free.
Men and women are dying.
Will you risk your life in
defense of someone
you don't even
know?
“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 the freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who gives us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves beneath the flag, and whose coffin is draped by the flag, who allows the protestor to burn the flag.”
-Father Dennis Edward O’Brien, Sergeant, USMC
Are you willing to risk your life for someone with different beliefs? For someone you despise?
God bless America and her loyal guardians
