(Stonewall) Jackson “A really great people, proud and high-spirited, would face all the disasters of war rather than purchase that base prosperity which is bought at the price of national honor.” –Theodore Roosevelt “No man can sit down and withhold his hands from the warfare against wrong and get peace from his acquiescence.” –Woodrow Wilson “No person was ever honored for what he received. Honor has been the reward for what he gave.” –Calvin Coolidge “Wars may be fought with weapons, but they are won by men. It is the spirit of the men who follow and of the man who leads that gains the victory.” –George Patton “Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few.” –Sir Winston Churchill “Let us solemnly remember the sacrifices of all those who fought so valiantly, on the seas, in the air, and on foreign shores, to preserve our heritage of freedom, and let us re-consecrate ourselves to the task of promoting an enduring peace so that their efforts shall not have been in vain.” –Dwight Eisenhower “The soldier, above all other people, prays for peace, for he must suffer and bear the deepest wounds and scars of war.” –Douglas MacArthur “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 protester to burn the flag.” – Father Dennis Edward O’Brian, USMC (United States Marine Corps) Soldiers of the United States, America loves and appreciates you.
