Here we come, here we are, here we lay

Sometimes standing against evil is more important than defeating it. The greatest heroes stand because it is right to do so, not because they believe they will walk away with their lives. Such selfless courage is a victory in itself.

That is why your sacrifice was all the more difficult. You chose to be a hero not through enchantment but through your own manhood.

If I charge, follow me. If I retreat, kill me. If I die, revenge me.

We are the ones responsible to determine whether the war that our marines, soldiers and airmen are fighting in is worth the cause.

I have decorated soldiers for heroism before, and it was always such an honor to do it.
