sacrifice, pain, and blood -

Greater love hath no man than this...
that a man lay down his life
for his friends.

Good War or Bad Peace

human conflict was so much
owed by so many to so few
Winston Churchill

Dear Lord,
Lest I continue my [sic]
complacent way, help me to remember
that somewhere, somehow out there
a man died for me today
As

I then must ask and answer,
Am I worth dying for?
Eleanor Roosevelt
————————
Victory at all cost
Victory in spite of all terror,
victory however long or hard
the road may be: for without
victory there is no survival
Winston Churchill
