This nation will remain the land of the free only so long as it is the home of the brave.
How important it is for us to recognize and celebrate our heroes and she-roes!
Courage is almost a contradiction in terms. It means a strong desire to live taking the form of readiness to die.
As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.
In the beginning of a change the patriot is a scarce man, and brave, and hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a patriot.
