Quotations for Veterans Day

Twenty-five million Veterans are living among us today.
These men and women selflessly set aside their civilian lives to
put on the uniform and serve us.
~Steve Buyer

The women pilots of the Ferrying Division flew more than nine million miles

in operation, October 1942 to December 1944.

One’s philosophy is not best expressed in words; it is expressed in the
choices one makes. In the long run, we shape our lives and we shape
ourselves. The process never ends until we die. And, the choices we make
are ultimately our own responsibility.
~Eleanor Roosevelt, 1884–1962, Former American First Lady

In the over two centuries since the signing of the Declaration of
Independence, millions of Americans have bravely served our nation in
uniform so that all generations can continue to enjoy those same liberties.

Courage is fear that has said its prayers.
~Dorothy Bernard

When we ask American men and women in uniform to fight for this country
and to defend this country’s interest and then to send them overseas, there
is no question we have an obligation to protect them and provide for their
safety.
~Byron Dorgan

Focus on your potential instead of your limitations.
~Alan Loy McGinnis

Nearly all men can stand adversity,
but if you want to test a man’s character, give him power.

Look for the good in others—and in yourself.
