“Honor to the soldier, and Sailor everywhere, who bravely bears his country’s cause, Honor also to the citizen who cares for his brother in the field, and serves, ashe best can, the same cause – honor to him, only less than to him, who braves, for the common good, the storm of heaven and the storms of battle.”

Abraham Lincoln (1809 to 1865)
