Danh ngôn thuộc danh mục: veterans day

There is a certain enthusiasm in liberty, that makes human nature rise above itself, in acts of bravery and heroism.

I go where the sound of thunder is.

True heroism is remarkably sober, very undramatic. It is not the urge to surpass all others at whatever cost, but the urge to serve others at whatever cost.

Well, look at what people are doing for returned veterans now. The wounded warriors. They're working hard to make the wounded veterans feel that they are loved and welcomed home, unlike Vietnam. It was not a very kind, gentle world then. I think we are kinder and gentler.

Every soldier must know, before he goes into battle, how the little battle he is to fight fits into the larger picture, and how the success of his fighting will influence the battle as a whole.

The valor and courage of our young women and men in the armed services are a shining example to all of the world, and we owe them and their families our deepest respect.

Honoring the sacrifices many have made for our country in the name of freedom and democracy is the very foundation of Veterans Day.

On this Veterans Day, let us remember the service of our veterans, and let us renew our national promise to fulfill our sacred obligations to our veterans and their families who have sacrificed so much so that we can live free.

Duty, Honor, Country. Those three hallowed words reverently dictate what you ought to be, what you can be, what you will be.

Perfect Valor is to do, without a witness, all that we could do before the whole world.

The reward of one duty is the power to fulfill another.

It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived.

Brave men are all vertebrates; they have their softness on the surface and their toughness in the middle.

I offer neither pay, nor quarters, nor food; I offer only hunger, thirst, forced marches, battles and death. Let him who loves his country with his heart, and not merely with his lips, follow me.

The sanctity of our battlefields, monuments, and veterans institutions is of utmost importance to preserve military history and pay respect to those who fought.

Gentlemen, when the enemy is committed to a mistake we must not interrupt him too soon.

I am not a hero but the brave men who died deserved this honor.

Spending time with America's soldiers is always inspiring.

America's Veterans have served their country with the belief that democracy and freedom are ideals to be upheld around the world.

Soldiers, when committed to a task, can't compromise. It's unrelenting devotion to the standards of duty and courage, absolute loyalty to others, not letting the task go until it's been done.

Our soldiers have nobly fought to protect freedom since our country's birth, and have fought to protect those that could not protect themselves, even in foreign lands when called upon.

Tragically, the effort to make America and the world safer and to defend freedom around the world is not without an enormous cost to this Nation in terms primarily of lost lives and those who bear the scars and the wounds of war, and their families who must bear these losses.

The veterans of our military services have put their lives on the line to protect the freedoms that we enjoy. They have dedicated their lives to their country and deserve to be recognized for their commitment.

Live as brave men; and if fortune is adverse, front its blows with brave hearts.

The thing is this: You got to have fun while you're fightin' for freedom, 'cause you don't always win.

When soldiers have been baptized in the fire of a battle-field, they have all one rank in my eyes.

But this Veterans Day, I believe we should do more than sing the praises of the bravery and patriotism that our veterans have embodied in the past. We should take this opportunity to re-evaluate how we are treating our veterans in the present.

It takes a hero to be one of those men who goes into battle.

A few honest men are better than numbers.

Courage in danger is half the battle.

While only one day of the year is dedicated solely to honoring our veterans, Americans must never forget the sacrifices that many of our fellow countrymen have made to defend our country and protect our freedoms.

The precondition to freedom is security.

When the will defies fear, when duty throws the gauntlet down to fate, when honor scorns to compromise with death - that is heroism.

America's trying to do the best for its veterans.

The only thing that makes battle psychologically tolerable is the brotherhood among soldiers. You need each other to get by.

As a former veteran, I understand the needs of veterans, and have been clear - we will work together, stand together with the Administration, but we will also question their policies when they shortchange veterans and military retirees.

Because all of us believe and understand in the fabric of the common bond of why we call ourselves American is to care for the men and women who wear the uniform; and when they take off the uniform, we care for them when they are veterans.

Regard your soldiers as your children, and they will follow you into the deepest valleys; look on them as your own beloved sons, and they will stand by you even unto death.

The U.S. Military is us. There is no truer representation of a country than the people that it sends into the field to fight for it. The people who wear our uniform and carry our rifles into combat are our kids, and our job is to support them, because they're protecting us.
