Memorial Day 2010 Tributes

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


It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived. - General George S. Patton



I will always place the mission first. I will never accept defeat. I will never quit. I will never leave a fallen comrade.  I am disciplined, physically and mentally tough, trained and proficient in my warrior tasks and drills. I always maintain my arms, my equipment and myself.  I am an expert and I am a professional.



God Have Mercy on my enemies, because I won't ~ General George S. Patton


You showed me how I was supposed to Live then you showed me how to die ~ Toby Keith

Forged in the fire lit long ago, stand next to me, you'll never stand alone. I'm last to leave, but the first to go, Lord, make me dead before you make me old.
