Until then may I too abide
To dispel the misery of the world.

"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 man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature who can never be free unless made and kept so by the exertions of men better than himself."

-Lt. General Colby M. Broadwater, III

I loved that! Im making a plaque with that for my best friend for Christmas.
