Colors of freedom!

Colors of freedom!
It's the Soldier, not the reporter
Who has given us the freedom of the press.
It's the Soldier, not the poet,
Who has given us the freedom of speech.
It's the Soldier, not the politicians That ensures our right to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness..

It's the Soldier who salutes the flag,
Who serves beneath the flag,
And whose coffin is draped by the flag.

What is a GiveAway ??

A giveaway is a type of marketing promotion where something is given away for free. Companies often use giveaways to spread the word about their products, to make themselves more memorable in their customers' minds, or to get people to try something new in the hopes that they will continue to buy the product. A small giveaway, for example, might be a free bookmark given away by a book shop with every purchase. An example of a large giveaway is an all-inclusive five day vacation to a tropical region. The size of this kind of promotional item and the quantity given away depends entirely on the scope and purposes of the campaign to which the giveaway is related.
