A hero is someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than oneself.
How important it is for us to recognize and celebrate our heroes and she-roes!
The brave die never, though they sleep in dust: Their courage nerves a thousand living men.
The legacy of heroes is the memory of a great name and the inheritance of a great example.

The modern patriotism, the true patriotism, the only rational patriotism is loyalty to the Nation all the time, loyalty to the Government when it deserves it.

We shall pay any price, bear any burden, to assure the survival and the success of liberty.
I'm proud to be an American, where at least I know I'm free.
The patriot's blood is the seed of Freedom's tree.
Our debt to the heroic men and valiant women in the service of our country can never be repaid. They have earned our undying gratitude. America will never forget their sacrifices.
They are dead; but they live in each Patriot's breast, And their names are engraven on honor's bright crest.
I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country.
Heroism is not only in the man, but in the occasion.
Courage is contagious. When a brave man takes a stand, the spines of others are often stiffened.
These fallen heroes represent the character of a nation who has a long history of patriotism and honor - and a nation who has fought many battles to keep our country free from threats of terror.
And they who for their country die shall fill an honored grave, for glory lights the soldier's tomb, and beauty weeps the brave.
It doesn't take a hero to order men into battle. It takes a hero to be one of those men who goes into battle.
We invoke the sacrifices of our fallen heroes in the abstract, but we seldom take time to thank them individually.
Our nation owes a debt to its fallen heroes that we can never fully repay, but we can honor their sacrifice.
