Class of 1962

'Our Military Heroes'

----------------------------------------------------

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

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

It is the soldier, not the campus organizer,
Who has given 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 protester to burn the flag."
[ By Father Denis Edward O'Brien, USMC ]

Scratched on a wall in the Hoa Loa prison in North Vietnam by an unknown POW:
"Freedom has a taste to those who fight and almost die for it that the protected shall never know."

'Thank you all for your service!'
