When the soldiers came home from Vietnam, there were no parades, no celebrations.
William C. Westmoreland General, U.S. Army
Commander of the United States Forces Chief of Staff of the United States Army
Ask not what your country can do for you ask what you can do for your country.

Let us never negotiate out of fear but let us fear to negotiate.
John
