O beautiful for heroes proved In liberating strife,
Who more than self their country loved, And mercy more than life!
America! America! May G-d they gold refine,
Till all success be nobleness, And every gain divine.
(verse three, America the Beautiful)
Thank you to all who gave.

A thought, from one of greatest warriors in United States History:
_____________________________________________________________
"This conjunction of an immense military establishment and a large arms industry is new in the American experience. The total influence ? economic, political, even spiritual ? is felt in every city, every Statehouse, every office of the Federal government. We recognize the imperative need for this development. Yet we must not fail to comprehend its grave implications. Our toil, resources and livelihood are all involved; so is the very structure of our society.
In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.
We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes"
- Dwight D. Eisenhower's Farewell Address to the Nation, 1961
