A
study of history shows us that a Nation is only as strong as the will
of its citizens to fight for it. America has been tested many times over
in its relatively short history. From the Revolutionary War on down to
the present conflicts in the Middle East, the majority of the American
citizens were willing to place their lives and futures in danger to
preserve and build the future of this Nation. Even when the requirements
of the military required the use of conscription in order to meet the
needs of the day, most citizens were willing to shoulder their
responsibilities and deliver the results that were of benefit to all
Americans. Many times they have assured a future for this Nation by
rising to the occasion. This is especially true today as the burden is
falling on an entirely “volunteer force”.

The old grey donkey, Eeyore stood by himself in a thistly corner of the Forest, his front feet well apart, his head on one side, and thought about things. Sometimes he thought sadly to himself, "Why?" and sometimes he thought, "Wherefore?" and sometimes he thought, "Inasmuch as which?" and sometimes he didn't quite know what he was thinking about.
