Famous quotes containing the words military and/or honors:
“Nothing changes my twenty-six years in the military. I continue to love it and everything it stands for and everything I was able to accomplish in it. To put up a wall against the military because of one regulation would be doing the same thing that the regulation does in terms of negating people.”
—Margarethe Cammermeyer (b. 1942)
“There is a moment when god honors falsehood.”
—Aeschylus (525–456 B.C.)
