Honoring Veterans


*   *     *   *     *   *     *   *     *   *

"Those with less of a sense of service to the nation never understand it when men and women of character step forward to look danger and adversity straight in the eye, refusing to blink, or give ground, even to their own deaths. The protected can’t begin to understand the price paid so they and their families can sleep safe and free at night. No, they are not victims, but are warriors, your warriors, and warriors are never victims, regardless of how and where they fall. Death, or fear of death, has no power over them. Their paths are paved by sacrifice, sacrifices they gladly make for you."

...by Marine Lieutenant General John F. Kelly to the Semper Fi Society of St. Louis

I will take it for granted, that all will agree with this post's sentiments.
If you do not, I really don't want to know.
