I think it’s time we supported our country, our president and

DEAR EDITOR:
I think it’s time we supported our country, our president and our servicemen who will be in harm’s way. The only result of this so called PEACE demonstrations is the support and enabling of the terrorists to keep on doing what they have been doing for the past 12 years – killing and maiming innocent civilians, both their own, as well as, others. They should be demonstrating for Saddam to disarm, that would be a REAL PEACE demonstration!
Please reflect on the following poem.
IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN
It has always been the SOLDIER
Not the president
Who takes care of us
It is the SAILOR,
Not the reporter,
Who has given us freedom of the press.
It is the MARINE,
Not the poet,
Who has given us freedom of speech.
It is the AIRMAN,
Not the campus organizer,
Who gave us the freedom to demonstrate.
IT IS THE PERSON IN UNIFORM,
– who salutes the flag
– who serves beneath the flag
– and whose coffin is draped by the flag
That allows the protester to burn the flag.
