“Duty, honor, country. These three hallowed words reverently dictate what a soldier ought to be, what you can be, what you will be.

Duty…honor…country.”
General Douglas MacArthur

“Many men fail because they quit too soon. They lose faith when the signs are against them. They do not have the courage to hold on, to keep fighting in spite of that which seems insurmountable. If more of us would strike out and attempt the impossible, we very soon would find the truth of that old saying – nothing is impossible”.
