There have been many heroes whose words echo across time and have provided me with guidance through the tough times of War and struggle. They offer truths I hope our nation will collectively remember...

Venerable Wisdom:

•  “Truth will ultimately prevail where there is pains to bring it to light.”
- George Washington

•  “Those who stand for nothing will fall for anything.” – Alexander Hamilton

•  “Let us have faith that right makes might, and in that faith, let us, to the end, dare to do our duty as we understand it.” – Abraham Lincoln

•  “[n]o man who is corrupt, no man who condones corruption in others, can possibly do his duty by the community.”
- Theodore Roosevelt

•  “Truth alone will endure, all the rest will be swept away before the tide of time.” – Mahatma Gandhi

•  "It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions."
- Ronald Reagan
