“A man who is good enough to shed his blood for his country is good enough to be given a square deal afterwards. More than that no man is entitled to, and less than that no man shall have.”
—Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919)
“Luckless is the country in which the symbols of procreation are the objects of shame, while the agents of destruction are honored!
