When our perils are past, shall our gratitude sleep?...Michel de Montaigne
Ways You Can Honor Our Veterans On Veterans Day
"The willingness by which our young people are likely to serve in any war, no matter how justified, shall be directly proportional to how they perceive the veterans of earlier wars were treated and appreciated by their nation." George Washington
