“America’s fighting men and women sacrifice much to ensure that our great nation stays free. We owe a debt of gratitude to the soldiers that have paid the ultimate price for this cause, as well as for those who are blessed enough to return from the battlefield unscathed.” ~ Allen Boyd “Courage is the price that life exacts for granting peace.” ~ Amelia Earhart “There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, learning from failure.” ~ Colin Powell “If there is one thing you’ve got to hold on to, it’s the courage to fight!” ~ Bessie Delany “The right way is not always the popular and easy way. Standing for right when it is unpopular is a true test of moral character.” ~ Margaret Chase Smith “Freedom is never free.” ~ Unknown “How important it is for us to recognize and celebrate our heroes and she-roes!” ~ Maya Angelou “When our perils are past, shall our gratitude sleep?” ~ George Canning “I think there is one higher office than president and I would call that patriot.” ~ Gary Hart “Valor is stability, not of legs and arms, but of courage and the soul.” ~ Michel de Montaigne “We often take for granted the very things that most deserve our gratitude.” ~ Cynthia Ozick “What counts is not necessarily the size of the dog in the fight – it’s the size of the fight in the dog.” ~ Dwight D. Eisenhower “Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few.” ~ Prime Minister Winston Churchill “Tough times never last, but tough people do.” ~ Dr. Robert Schuller “He loves his country best who strives to make it best.” ~ Robert G.

We express our gratitude to these men and women who defend the freedom America represents.” ~ Tim Murphy “I like to see a man proud of the place in which he lives. I like to see a man live so that his place will be proud of him.” ~ Abraham Lincoln “I may be compelled to face danger, but never fear it, and while our soldiers can stand and fight, I can stand and feed and nurse them.” ~ Clara Barton “Courage is almost a contradiction in terms. It means a strong desire to live taking the form of readiness to die.” ~ G.K. Chesterton “You can kiss your family and friends good-bye and put miles between you, but at the same time you carry them with you in your heart, your mind, your stomach, because you do not just live in a world but a world lives in you.” ~ Frederick Buechner “I saw how different life was on different sides of the same city.
