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 protestor to burn the flag.
Father Dennis Edward O'Brian, USMC
Please thank a veteran today.

Due north of the center we find the South End.
This is not to be confused with South Boston
which lies directly east from the South End.
North of the SouthEnd is East Boston and
southwest of East Boston is the North End.
