" The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controvercy."
- Martin Luther King Jr

"It takes a brave man to become a soldier, and it takes a braver man to admit he's afraid war isn't noble people are"

" I saw you hide your hands in line,
behind that lady fair,
I noticed too, hers soft and white
immaculate from care.
But Ma, I say, it's no disgrace
to have workin hands like you,
and had she lived the life you have,
She'd have hands just like it too...

...So you see, my dearest mama
yours are hands of love.
And I bet the Lord wil notice when he greets you from above."

Tommi Jo Casteel
