"I've fought and bled, lost and led. Yet my country remains indifferent."
- Me

War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.
-John Stuart Mill

"Show me a man that will jump out of an airplane and I will show you a man that will fight for his country"
General James Gavin

I hate war as only a soldier who has lived it can, only as one who has seen its brutality, its futility, its stupidity.

General Dwight D. Eisenhower

Don't ever take a fence down until you know why it was put up.
-Robert Frost

I dont care. none of it matters. Our days are numbered by God's will. So forget about the stupid things and bickering. Just live in the moment and be happy!

If you sit and blame all the bad in life on other people and things....Maybe you should step back and look at what you can do to make your life better than what it is. More than likely there is something you are doing that is causing your life to go to hell.

"Love is every where and almost every one has it for someone, but being in love is something few find. When you find it, never let it go because you can always love some one but it is a rare thing to be in love and live in it."

"if you love someone, tell them, because hearts are often broken by words left unspoken"

"some people put up walls, not to keep others out, but to see who cares enough to tear them down"

"Life sucks, then you die..."
-Jacob Black

"naturally i will do anything for the people I love and that same nature is my weakness"

"what you can't find can be found, but what you lose is always lost "

" The hardest thing to do is watch the one you love, love someone else."

"Love is as much of an object as an obsession, everybody wants it, everybody seeks it, but few ever achieve it, those who do will cherish it, be lost in it, and among all, never... never forget it."

"The ones that you love the most are usually the ones that hurt you the most."

"It is the Soldier who salutes the Flag, Who serves beneath the Flag, And whose coffin is draped by the Flag, who allows the protestor to burn the flag"

" I believe everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go. Things go wrong so that you can appreciate them when they're right. You believe lies so that you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart, so that better things fall together."

It is, in a way, an odd thing to honor those who died in defense of our country in wars far away. The imagination plays a trick. We see those soldiers in our minds as old and wise. We see them as something like the Founding Fathers, grave and gray-haired. But most of them were boys when they died. They gave up two lives---the one they were living and the one they would have lived. When they died, they gave up their chance to be husbands and fathers and grandfathers. They gave up their chance to be revered old men. They gave up everything for their country, for us. All we can do is remember." - Ronald Reagan

"capture this moment forever b/c it will last...and it will change your life."
