"Unless men are willing to fight and die for great ideals, including love of country, ideals will vanish and the world will become one huge sty of materialism...ALL of us who give SERVICE, and stand ready to SACRIFICE, are the torchbearers...The torches whose flames are brightest are borne by the gallant men at the front...These are the torchbearers, these are they who have dared the great adventure." Theodore Roosevelt
