I finally went digging through my crap, and I found some quotes that I thought were especially appropriate with July 4th coming and the world situation.
“Most people do not understand the profession of arms.
It is true the Warrior bears the brunt of war. They are the ones that live under difficult conditions, fight and die.
The true Warrior is a curious mixture of beliefs, faith, trust, hope, and fears.
Every day the Warrior prepares to do what they have committed themselves to do: fight to the death, if necessary, to protect the nation.
And every night, the Warrior prays for peace.â€

“It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given freedom to 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, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial.
It is the soldier, who salutes the flag, who serves under the flag, and whose coffin is draped by the flag, who allows the protester to burn the flag.â€
-Charles M. Province
