"No man is entitled to enjoy the blessings of freedom unless he is diligent in its preservation." -- General Douglas MacArthur
"To be prepared for war is the most effective means of preserving peace." -- General George Washington
THE SOLDIER
It is the soldier, not the protestor, that guarantees the right of freedom of speech.
It is the soldier, not the priest, that guarantees the right of freedom of religion.
It is the soldier, not the journalist, that guarantees the right of freedom of the press.
It is the soldier, not the police officer, that guarantees the right of due process of law.
It is the soldier, not the judge, that guarantees the right to a fair trial.
And it is the soldier; the one who salutes the flag, honors the flag, raises the flag at the beginning of the day, lowers the flag at the end of the day, folds the flag, and protects the flag, that gives American citizens the right to burn the flag.
Without men and women who love freedom so much that they are willing to stand up for it, fight for it, and yes -- even die for it, there is no freedom.
Freedom is not free. If you are an American and you enjoy your freedom, thank those veterans who preserved it for you in the past and those currently wearing the uniform who protect it for you today.

A piece of spaghetti or a military unit can only be led from the front end.
George S. Patton
Americans love to fight. All real Americans love the sting of battle.
George S. Patton
Americans play to win at all times. I wouldn't give a hoot and hell for a man who lost and laughed. That's why Americans have never lost nor ever lose a war.
George S. Patton
Better to fight for something than live for nothing.
George S. Patton
Courage is fear holding on a minute longer.
George S.
It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived.
George S. Patton
No bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country.
George S. Patton
“The military don’t start wars. Politicians start wars.”
“I do not believe that the men who served in uniform in Vietnam have been given the credit they deserve. It was a difficult war against an unorthodox enemy.”
“Television is an instrument which can paralyze this country.”

America: http://www.quotationspage.com/subjects/America/
There's the country of America, which you have to defend, but there's also the idea of America. America is more than just a country, it's an idea. An idea that's supposed to be contagious.
Bono (1960 - ), Oprah Winfrey Show, 2002
America will never run... And we will always be grateful that liberty has found such brave defenders.
George W. Bush (1946 - )
Heros: http://www.quotationspage.com/subjects/heroes/
I think of a hero as someone who understands the degree of responsibility that comes with his freedom.
Bob Dylan (1941 - )
We can't all be heroes because somebody has to sit on the curb and clap as they go by.
Will Rogers (1879 - 1935)
Bravery: http://www.quoteland.com/topic.asp?CATEGORY_ID=177
"Brave men are all vertebrates; they have their softness on the surface and their toughness in the middle."
- G.K. Chesterton
Patriotism: http://www.quoteland.com/topic.asp?CATEGORY_ID=105
"Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country."

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 Stewart Mill--

"If they really wanted to honor the boy, they'd let him sit in the stands and watch the people march by!"
Forgot who said this, but I think it's fitting everytime there's a parade honoring the troops.

"The Pioneers Of A Warless War Are the Youth Whom Refuse Service"
-Albert Einstein
I have no respect for soldiers for they are contributing to global violence and the murder of millions,sure we need defence,and in my opinion that's okay,however to send troops into foreign territory(eg.Iraq) Now that is to truly contribute to the death of many.
