A few thoughts in their honor. They were, after all, soldiers--first, last, and always:

O beautiful for heroes proved
In liberating strife,
Who more than self their country loved,
And mercy more than life!
America! America!
May God thy gold refine
Till all success be nobleness
And every gain divine!

- Katherine Lee Bates, America The Beautiful.

Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong. - I Corinthians 16:13.

And the angel of the Lord appeared unto him, and said unto him, The Lord is with thee, thou mighty man of valor. - Judges 6:12.

Courage is the first of human qualities because it is the quality which guarantees all others. - Winston Churchill.

War makes strange giant creatures out of us little routine men who inhabit the earth. - Ernie Pyle, Here is Your War.
