For all the free people who still protest. Say thank you to those who protect you, because you are protected by the best. You're voice is loud and strong, but who is fighting for you? They are mothers and fathers, sons and daughters. Wearing the boots and carrying the guns. They are the ones leaving all they own, to make sure our future is carved in stone. They are the ones who fight and die. They may not be able to save the world but atleast they try. So when you rally your group to complain, remember in order for our freedom flag to fly. Wars must be fought, and young people must die. They went to fight for the ones they love, and they are fighting for you to. So please  stop yelling, put down your signs, and pray for those behind enemy lines. When the conflict is over, and all is well. Be thankful our soldiers chose to go through hell.
