1 Freedom Is Not Free I watched the flag pass by one day, It fluttered in the breeze. A young Service man saluted it, And then he stood at ease. I watched the flag pass by one day, I looked at him in uniform So young, so tall, so proud, With hair cut square and eyes alert He'd stand out in any crowd. I thought how many men like him Had fallen through the years. How many died on foreign soil How many mothers' tears? How many pilots' planes shot down? How many died at sea How many foxholes were soldiers' graves? No, freedom isn't free. I heard the sound of Taps one night, When everything was still, I listened to the bugler play And felt a sudden chill. I wondered just how many times That Taps had meant "Amen," When a flag had draped a coffin. Of a brother or a friend. I thought of all the children, Of the mothers and the wives, Of fathers, sons and husbands With interrupted lives. I thought about a graveyard At the bottom of the sea Of unmarked graves in Arlington. No, freedom isn't free.

He campaigns several universities and succeeds in getting a grant to launch an expedition. Several weeks pass and the expedition party stumble upon a 3 foot tall pigmy standing near a 300 foot long dead dinosaur. The scientist approaches the pigmy and exclaims, Dear Lord! Did you kill this dinosaur? Yep! replied the pigmy. But, it s so big and you re so small Yep! replied the pigmy. How on earth did you kill it? inquired the scientist. With my club, replied the pigmy. How big is your club? demanded the scientist. The pigmy replied, Well, there are about a hundred of us.
