Greater love hath no man than this,
that a man lay down his life for his friends.
"The willingness with which our young people are likely to serve in any war,
no matter how justified, shall be directly proportional as to how they perceive the veterans
of earlier wars were treated and appreciated by their Nation."
President George Washington
"There shall not be Peace until the Power of Love overcomes the Love of Power."
