The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave... --Patrick Henry--
War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself. --John Stewart Mill--
Some people live an entire lifetime and wonder if they have ever made a difference in the world, but the Marines don't have that problem. --Ronald Reagan--
The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his. --George Patton--
We make war that we may live in peace. --Aristotle--
People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf. --George Orwell--

Thanks to all who have served or are serving. And to those who are no longer with us because of their bravery, I pray your efforts are not in vain, and that we show our gratitude in how we appreciate our freedom.
