Soldier
Any soldier worth his salt should be antiwar. And still there are things worth fighting for.
When we assumed the Soldier, we did not lay aside the Citizen.
Anyone who has ever looked into the glazed eyes of a soldier dying on the battlefield will think hard before starting a war.
The first virtue in a soldier is endurance of fatigue; courage is only the second virtue.
A soldier will fight long and hard for a bit of colored ribbon.
I hate war as only a soldier who has lived it can, only as one who has seen its brutality, its futility, its stupidity.
On the battlefield, the military pledges to leave no soldier behind. As a nation, let it be our pledge that when they return home, we leave no veteran behind.
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.
My hope is that 'Blk Girl Soldier' is a freedom song for black women today who are fighting the macro- and microaggressions of daily life in our city/country/world.
The soldier above all others prays for peace, for it is the soldier who must suffer and bear the deepest wounds and scars of war.
My dad was my best friend and greatest role model. He was an amazing dad, coach, mentor, soldier, husband and friend.
