G.K. Chesterton said, “Courage is almost a contradiction in terms. It means a strong desire to live taking the form of readiness to die.” Yet our soldiers show courage, risking life and limb for his country.

“We often take for granted the very things that most deserve our gratitude.”    – Cynthia Ozick
