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)
“He most honors my style who learns under it to destroy the teacher.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
