Veterans Day thanks all men and women who have served honorably in the military during times of war and peace. To these brave men and women, we offer the following tribute:
"As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them."
"Neither a wise man nor a brave man lies down on the tracks of history to wait for the train of the future to run over him."
-- Dwight D. Eisenhower
"Peace is not only better than war, but infinitely more arduous."
-- George Bernard Shaw
"Freedom is never free."
-- Author Unknown
"This nation will remain the land of the free only so long as it is the home of the brave."
-- Elmer Davis
"How important it is for us to recognize and celebrate our heroes and she-roes!"
-- Maya Angelou
"Regard your soldiers as your children, and they will follow you into the deepest valleys. Look on them as your own beloved sons, and they will stand by you even unto death!"
-- Sun Tzu
"Valor is stability, not of legs and arms, but of courage and the soul."
-- Michel de Montaigne
"History does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid."
-- Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower
"The more we sweat in peace, the less we bleed in war."
-- Vijaya Lakshmi Pandit
"There never was a good war or a bad peace."
-- Benjamin Franklin
"I believe it is the nature of people to be heroes, given the chance."
-- James A. Autry
"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."
-- Mark Twain
"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 veterans of early wars were treated and appreciated by our nation."
-- George Washington
