[SIZE=+1][SIZE=+1][SIZE=+1]. . .I have no misgivings about, or lack of confidence in the cause in which I am engaged, and my courage does not halt or falter. I know how American Civilization now leans upon the triumph of the government and how great a debt we owe to those who went before us through the blood and suffering of the Revolution. And I am willing - perfectly willing - to lay down all my joys in this life, to help maintain this government, and to pay that debt.[/SIZE] . .

“The first quality of a soldier is constancy to enduring fatigue and hardship. Courage is only the second. Poverty, privation and want are the school of the good soldier.” ~Napolean

“My limbs sink, my mouth is parched, my body trembles, the hair bristles on my flesh. The magic bow slips from my hand, my skin burns. I cannot stand still. My mind reels.” ~Arjuna to Lord Krishna, The Bhagavad-Gita

“Go with this man . . . ; take care to bathe his face till every trace of filth has disappeared, for it would not be fitting that he go with vision clouded by the mists of Hell.” ~Dante, Purgatorio​

Thanks to those that sacrificed for our freedom. We buried my brother in law, Mark Allen Christian, in Florida National Cemetery yesterday and it was a sad day. A Marine who was proud to be an American. One day of remembrance isn't enough.
