I will tell you. Place me behind prison walls - walls of stone ever so high, ever so thick, reaching ever so far into the ground. There is a possibility that in some way or another I might be able to escape. But draw a circle on the ground, have me stand in it, and give my word of honor never to leave. Can I ever leave that circle? No. Never! I'll die first." - Karl G.

Trouble no one about his religion. Respect others in their views and demand that they respect yours. Love your life, perfect your life. Beautify all things in your life. Seek to make your life long and of service to your people. When your time comes to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song, and die like a hero going home. -Act Of ValorResponse by TSgt Private RallyPoint Member made Jul 31 at 2015 10:06 AM2015-07-31T10:06:32-04:002015-07-31T10:06:32-04:00LTC Private RallyPoint Member856877<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>"Duty, honor, country: Those three hallowed words reverently dictate what you ought to be, what you can be, what you will be.
