Have the courage to act instead of react.
Lord, bid war’s trumpet cease; Fold the whole earth in peace.
The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave.
Some people wonder all their lives if they’ve made a difference. The Marines don’t have that problem.
History teaches that war begins when governments believe the price of aggression is cheap.
We, too, born to freedom, and believing in freedom, are willing to fight to maintain freedom. We, and all others who believe as deeply as we do, would rather die on our feet than live on our knees.
These are the times that try men’s souls.
My heroes are those who risk their lives every day to protect our world and make it a better place – police, firefighters and members of our armed forces.
It is Veterans Day, when we honor everyone who served in all of the campaigns. We honor them with dignity and respect, and of course mattress sales and tire discounts.
No soldier outlives a thousand chances. But every soldier believes in Chance and trusts his luck.
You’d have to go a long way to find someone who was more proud and grateful for what our veterans have done for all of us.
They may take our lives, but they’ll never take our freedom!
The most persistent sound which reverberates through man’s history is the beating of war drums.
But this Veterans Day, I believe we should do more than sing the praises of the bravery and patriotism that our veterans have embodied in the past. We should take this opportunity to re-evaluate how we are treating our veterans in the present.
Our veterans accepted the responsibility to defend America and uphold our values when duty called.
God grants liberty only to those who love it, and are always ready to guard and defend it.
Regard your soldiers as your children, and they will follow you into the deepest valleys; look upon them as your own beloved sons, and they will stand by you even unto death.
I dream of giving birth to a child who will ask: “Mother, what was war?”
You’ve been told that you’re broken, that you’re damaged goods and should be labeled victims. I don’t buy it. The truth, instead, is that you are the only folks with the skills, determination, and values to ensure American dominance in this chaotic world.
Better than honor and glory, and History’s iron pen, Was the thought of duty done and the love of his fellow-men.
