I trust that this isn't taken as a political statement because it is not.

"It is the soldier, not the reporter who has given us the freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us the freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who gives us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves beneath the flag, and whose coffin is draped by the flag, who allows the protester to burn the flag." -- Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, Sergeant, USMC

Had to share my "new favorite" quote, read in Edward R. Murrow's "This I Believe,"

"Money is a wonderful thing, but it is possible to pay too high a price for it."

Randy,

Mate, from a 20 year serviceman, thankyou. This is one of the best quotes I have ever read. It WILL be printed out and stuck above my workstation. It is like the Jack Nicolson speech in 'A few good men' very moving.

Thanks
