Remembering Our Freedoms Are Not FREE, Memorial Day 2010

Over 4 million people visite Arlington Cemetery each year. I was fortunate to be one of them last November.

"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 protester to burn the flag . "


Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, USMC

 

 

"I have sworn upon the altar of God, eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man." Thomas Jefferson in a letter to Dr. Benjamin Rush, September 23, 1800.  Inscribed in the Jefferson Memorial.

The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions that I wish it to always be kept alive. It will often be exercised when wrong, but better so than not to be exercised at all." Thomas Jefferson, 1743-1826

"The sacred rights of property are to be guarded at every point. I call them sacred, because, if they are unprotected, all other rights become worthless or visionary. What is personal liberty, if it does not draw after it the right to enjoy the fruits of our own industry? What is political liberty, if it imparts only perpetual poverty to us and all our posterity? What is the privilege of a vote, if the majority of the hour may sweep away the earnings of our whole lives, to gratify the rapacity of the indolent, the cunning, or the profligate, who are borne into power upon the tide of a temporary popularity?"  Judge Joseph Story, 1852

"But you must remember, my fellow-citizens, that eternal vigilance by the people is the price of liberty, and that you must pay the price if you wish to secure the blessing.  It behooves you, therefore, to be watchful in your States as well as in the Federal Government."   Andrew Jackson, Farewell Address, March 4, 1837

"The greatest tyrannies are always perpetrated in the name of the noblest causes."  Thomas Paine

"God grants liberty only to those who love it, and are always ready to guard and defend it. " Daniel Webster (1834)

 

"I have sworn upon the altar of God, eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man." -- Thomas Jefferson in a letter to Dr. Benjamin Rush, September 23, 1800.  Inscribed in the Jefferson Memorial.
