Es el soldado,
no el reportero,
quien nos ha dado
la LIBERTAR de prensa.
Es el soldado,
no el poeta,
quien nos ha dado
la LIBERTAD de hablar.
El el soldado,
no la organización
del recinto,
quien nos ha dado
la LIBERTAD de
hacer demostraciones.
Es el soldado, quien sirve
bajo la BANDERA,
quien saluda la BANDERA,
que su ataúd es
cubierta por esa BANDERA
quien concede,
a los que protestan,
quemar la BANDERA.
Es el soldado,
no los políticos,
quien ha dado su sangre,
su cuerpo, su vida,
quien nos ha dado esas
LIBERTADES.

| 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
Freedom of speech.
It is the soldier,
not the campus organizer,
who has given us the
Freedom to demonstrate.
It is the soldier,
who serves beneath the Flag,
who salutes the Flag,
whose coffin is
draped by the Flag,
who allows the protester
to burn the Flag.
It is the soldier,
not the politician,
who has given his blood,
his body, his life,
who has given us these
FREEDOMS.
