in honor of all our brave troops

Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement that something else is more important than fear.  ~Ambrose Redmoon




Courage doesn't always roar.  Sometimes courage is the little voice at the end of the day that says I'll try again tomorrow.  ~Mary Anne Radmacher




Loyalty and devotion lead to bravery. Bravery leads to the spirit of self-sacrifice. The spirit of self-sacrifice creates trust in the power of love.
Morihei Ueshiba




Courage is never to let your actions be influenced by your fears.  ~Arthur Koestler
