Experience is a hard teacher because she gives
the test first, the lesson afterward. Vernon Law
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 these soldiers in our minds as old and
wise.
We see them as something like the Founding Fathers, grave and
gray-haired.
But most were boys when they died, and 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. R.
Reagan
To believe in the heroic makes
heroes.
B. Disraeli
Trust your hopes not your fears. David
