* Freedom *

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 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.

SEMPER FIDELIS! EXCELSIOR!

it's an american day of remembrance, recognition and honor for those who have served, particularly to those who died, in the armed services of the united states.

Right. Does it commemorate any particular event?
