VETERANS DAY THOUGHTS

"But the freedom that they fought for, and the country grand they wrought for,Is their monument to-day, and for aye."
-Thomas Dunn English-

"As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them. "
-John Fitzgerald Kennedy-

"This nation will remain the land of the free only
so long as it is the home of the brave. "
-Elmer Davis -

"Whatever you do, you need courage. Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising that tempt you to believe your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires some of the same courage that a soldier needs. Peace has its victories, but it takes brave men and women to win them."
-Ralph Waldo Emerson-

"However horrible the incidents of war may be,
the soldier who is called upon to offer and to give his life for his
country is the noblest development of mankind."
-Douglas MacArthur-

"Wars may be fought with weapons, but they are won by men.
It is the spirit of the men who follow and of the man
who leads that gains that victory."
-George S. Patton-
