2. CARPE DIEM For my Brothers in arms who valiently gave their lives in support of our nations freedom and the freedoms of the world: The following lines from the Iliad, by Homer: Reminded me of our brotherhood:

3. But the Achaian men fell silently, breathing valour, stubbornly minded, each in his heart, to stand by the others. Never leave a buddy, dead or wounded; stick together; if not in the mission, be dedicated to each other otherwise, how could you get men to go and fight? Brothers in Arms These mist covered mountains Are a home now for me But my home is the lowlands And always will be Some day you'll return to Your valleys and your farms And you'll no longer burn To be brothers in arms Through these fields of destruction Baptisms of fire I've watched all your suffering As the battles raged higher And though they did hurt me so bad In the fear and alarm You did not desert me My brothers in arms There's so many different worlds So many different suns And we have just one world But we live in different ones Now the sun's gone to hell And the moon's riding high Let me bid you farewell Every man has to die But it's written in the starlight And every line on your palm We're fools to make war On our brothers in arms.

4. If a man were to know the end of this days business ere it come, but it suffices to know the day will end. Then the end be known. And if we meet again, why then we'll smile. And if not, be it then, this parting was well made." ~Julius Ceaser "He who which hath no stomach to this fight, let him depart. Give him his money to speed his departure since we wish not to die in this mans company. We few, we happy few, we band of brothers, for he today that sheds his blood with me shall be my brother. And those men afraid to go will think themselves lesser men as they hear of how we fought and died." ~William Shakespeare I Am America I am a warrior Where now do I wage war I am freedom Chained to the tower door I am the screams Of six thousand toppled souls I am America Where the candle of hope still glows I am strong But helpless where I stand I am the tears Where blood will stain the sand I am the Eagle Who still soars on mighty wing I am America Where the bells of liberty ring I am a shield Before the place the sheep can hide I am the lion Who weeps before the tide I am the bear Who in anger leaves the cave I am America Land of the free; Home of the brave.

   Other Comments:

"THE RIFLE CREED" Before God I swear this Creed. This is my rifle. There are many like it, but this one is mine. My rifle is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. Without me, my rifle is useless. Without my rifle, I am useless. I must fire my rifle true. I must shoot straighter than my enemy who is trying to kill me. I must shoot him before he shoots me. I will. My rifle is human, even as I am human, because it is my life. Thus I will learn it as a brother. I will learn its weaknesses, its strengths, its parts, its accessories, its sights, and its barrel. I will keep my rifle clean and ready, even as I am clean and ready. My rifle and I will become part of each other. We will. Before God I swear this Creed. My rifle and myself are defenders of my country. We are the masters of our enemy. We are the saviors of life. So be it, until there is no enemy, but peace. So help me God. I'm not the baddest man on the planet, but I'll show you where I buried him.
