Quote of the Week

“We have gone forth from our shores repeatedly over the last hundred years, and we’ve done this as recently as the last year in Afghanistan and put wonderful young men and women at risk, many of whom have lost their lives. And we have asked for nothing except enough ground to bury them in, and otherwise, we have returned home…to live our own lives in peace.” – General Colin Powell (January 26, 2003)
