sympathetic threads, our actions run as causes, and they come back to us as

How can we not believe in the greatness of America? How
can we not do what is right and needed to preserve this last best hope of
man on earth? After all our struggles to restore America, to revive
confidence in our country, hope for our future, after all our hard-won
victories earned through the patience and courage of every citizen, we
cannot, must not, and will not turn back. We will finish our job. How
could we do less? We're Americans. - President Ronald Reagan

Patriotism
is not short, frenzied outbursts of emotion, but the tranquil and steady
dedication of a lifetime.-

They summed up and
perfected, by one supreme act, the highest virtues of men and citizens. For love
of country they accepted death, and thus resolved all doubts, and made immortal
their patriotism and virtue. - Gen. James A. Garfield
Veterans Can Show How They Served
Men and women who served in the U.S. Armed Forces can now show how they
served. A small group of retired veterans makes over thirty special metalized
film window stickers and magnetic vehicle plaques honoring military service in:
WWII, KOREA, VIETNAM, PERSIAN GULF, OVERSEAS EXPEDITIONARY CAMPAIGNS and
PEACETIME; with the ARMY, NAVY, MARINES, AIR FORCE, COAST GUARD, MERCHANT
MARINE. They are called VetSignias and feature black print on bright metallic
silver, with a stars and stripes background.
Veterans who served in wartime can display the
war served and their branch of service, for example; VET / KOREA /
U.S. ARMY or, VET / VIETNAM / U.S. MARINES.
VetSignias for those who served in Expeditionary
Campaigns such as; Panama, Somalia, Bosnia, Afghanistan, Iraq,
etc., show Branch of Service and Expeditionary, example; VET /
U.S. ARMY / EXPEDITIONARY, or VET / U.S. AIR FORCE /
EXPEDITIONARY.
Veterans who served in Peacetime can get
VetSignias that show Vet and their Branch of Service, like VET /
U.S. NAVY, or VET / U.S. COAST GUARD.
“The public should know the veterans in their
communities.” said Bob Kline, a WWII Marine and spokesman for the
VetSignia group. “Our aim is to provide a neat, attractive way for
all veterans to show their service. VetSignias are not big
billboards or banners, but they are a distinctive reminder to
all.”
All VetSignias, window stickers and magnetic
vehicle plaques, can be viewed on the internet at

Merrilee Carlson
of St. Paul, MN lost her son Michael in Iraq. She didn't want Americans to
lose sight of the cause her son proudly fought for, so she shared with her
fellow Americans a personal credo he wrote, a portion of which is below:
"I want to
carve out a niche for myself in the history books. I want to be remembered
for the things I accomplished. I sometimes dream of being a soldier in a
war. In this war I am helping to liberate people from oppression... I
might not be remembered... but I will have helped people."
