I hate war as only a soldier who has lived it can, only as one who has seen its brutality its futility, its stupidity.
Dwight D. Eisenhower 4th President of the United States Supreme Commander of the Allied Expeditionary Force During World War II Five-Star General of the Us Army

Duty , Honor, Country
Those three hallowed words reverently dictate what you ought to be, what you can be, what you will be. They are your rallying point to build courage when courage seems to fail, to regain faith when there seems to be little cause for faith, to create hope when hope becomes forlorn...
- Douglas MacArthur - Five-Star General, U.S. Army Medal of Honor Our nation honors her sons and daughters who answered the call to defend a country they never knew and a people they never met.
