Happy Veterans Day
#1
To all, thank you.

"The willingness with which our young people are likely to serve in any war, no matter how justified, shall be directly proportional to how they perceive the Veterans of earlier wars were treated and appreciated by their nation."

President George Washington


"Every post is honorable in which a man can serve his country."

General of the Armies George Washington


"An Army is a team. It lives, sleeps, eats, and fights as a team. This individual heroic stuff is pure horse shit."

General George Smith Patton, Jr.


"Some people work an entire lifetime and wonder if they ever made a difference to the world. But the Marines don't have that problem."

President Ronald Reagan


"A powerful Navy we have always regarded as our proper and natural means of defense; and it has always been of defense that we have thought, never of aggression or of conquest. But who shall tell us now what sort of Navy to build? We shall take leave to be strong upon the seas, in the future as in the past; and there will be no thought of offense or provocation in that. Our ships are our natural bulwarks."

President Woodrow Wilson


"In our victory over Japan, airpower was unquestionably decisive. That the planned invasion of the Japanese Home islands was unnecessary is clear evidence that airpower has evolved into a force in war co-equal with land and sea power, decisive in its own right and worthy of the faith of its prophets."

General Carl A. 'Tooey' Spaatz


"The cat with nine lives is a piker compared to the Coast Guard. You can kick this old service around, tear it to pieces, scream from the house-tops that it is worthless, ought to be abolished or transferred to the Navy, have the people in it fighting among themselves and working at cross purposes and it bobs up serenely bigger and stronger than ever."

Rear Admiral R. R. Waesche
