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 right to demonstrate.
It is the Soldier,
not the lawyer, who has given us
the right to a fair trial.
It is the Soldier,
not the clergy, who has given us
the Freedom of Religion.
It is the Soldier,
not the politician who has given us
the right to vote
It is the Soldier,
Who salutes the flag, who serves under the flag,
and whose coffin is draped by the flag.

The three flag poles were constructed as a reminder of
the dedication, devotion and sacrifices of all the men and
women of the Armed Services who have served from
Pipestone American Legion Michael Brocke Post #6
