Quotes by Jeremiah A. Denton Jr. (?)

“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.”

“The heat swept off the black asphalt in waves as our ragged group started down the street between two columns of people. At first, the crowd was sparse, well-dressed, and relatively quiet, obviously high-ranking party officials. As the crowd got thicker and louder, a guard shouted:'Bow your heads!' The words shot through me like a streak of lightning. I shouted:'You are Americans! Keep your heads up!”

“On February 25, 1984, President Reagan said: “Sometimes I can’t help but feel the First Amendment is being turned on its head…the pendulum has swung to intolerance against religious freedom…The First Amendment of the Constitution was not written to protect the people from religion; that Amendment was written to protect religion from government tyranny.”
