Fear is a reaction. Courage is a decision.

It is the Soldier, not the reporter who has given us freedom of press
It is the Soldier, not the poet who has given us freedom of speech
It is the Soldier, not the campus organizer who gives us freedom to demonstrate
It is the Soldier who salutes the flag, who serves beneath the flag, and who's coffin is draped by the flag, who allows the protester to burn the flag.
All men are created equal, then some became Marines.
On the 7th Day God rested. Marines filled sandbags.
Death smiles at everyone, Marines smile back.
The most dangerous place is between a Marine and his country.
There is no better friend and no worse enemy than the U.S. Marine Corps.
U.S. Marine. Your freedom. His life without complaint.
You will die. I will die a Marine.

"Blessed be the Lord my Strength, who teaches my hands to war, and my fingers to fight." -Psalm 144:1

"He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away."
-Revelation 21:4
