WE CAN FORGIVE  ~  BUT WE'LL NEVER FORGET!

"When we assumed the Soldier, we did not lay aside the Citizen; and we shall most sincerely rejoice with you in the happy hour when the establishment of American Liberty, upon the most firm and solid foundations shall enable us to return to our Private Stations in the bosom of a free, peacefully and happy Country."

- - George Washington, address to the New York Legislature, 1775

"You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.  You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.   You cannot help the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer.  You cannot further the brotherhood of man by encouraging class hatred.  You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.  You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than you earn.  You cannot build character and courage by taking away man's initiative and independence.  You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves."

- - Abraham Lincoln

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU GET TOO MANY GUYS IN THE PHOTO!
