New Foreword

Ghosts of Fallujah

I continue to be humbled by where GOF is going and the impact it is having. I am very honored for the below foreword provided by a remarkable 1st Cavalry Division Commanding General. Check it out in the upcoming second edition copy!

Foreword – “Ghosts of Fallujah”
The 1st Cavalry Division was formed on September 13, 1921 at Fort Bliss, Texas. Ms. Gladys Finch Dorcy, wife of Colonel Read more of this blog post »

Quotes by Coley D Tyler  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“… [s]uccessful leaders know when to show up. Successful leaders know when to stand up. Successful leaders know when to speak up. The most important of the three is often showing up and the next two follow only if appropriate. Leaders should not get these out of order.”
Coley D Tyler, Ghosts of Fallujah

“Always lead from the front, lead by example, and personify the infantry motto of “Follow me!” This is a cornerstone of basic leadership and one of the primary expectations of any leader at any level.”
Coley D Tyler, Ghosts of Fallujah

“Hate war, love the American Solider"

Modified from Hal Moore's, "...hate war, love the American warrior.”
Coley D Tyler, Ghosts of Fallujah

“There is no glory in war—only good men dying terrible deaths.”
Harold G. Moore, We Are Soldiers Still: A Journey Back to the Battlefields of Vietnam

“There is no such thing as closure for soldiers who have survived a war. They have an obligation, a sacred duty, to remember those who fell in battle beside them all their days and to bear witness to the insanity that is war.”
Harold G. Moore, We Are Soldiers Still: A Journey Back to the Battlefields of Vietnam

“A good wife is far more precious than jewels. The heart of her husband trusts in her and he will have no lack of gain. She brings him good and not harm, all the days of her life.”
Harold G. Moore, We Are Soldiers Still: A Journey Back to the Battlefields of Vietnam

“A king does not abide within his tent while his men bleed and die upon the field. A king does not dine while his men go hungry, nor sleep when they stand at watch upon the wall. A king does not command his men's loyalty through fear nor purchase it with gold; he earns their love by the sweat of his own back and the pains he endures for their sake. That which comprises the harshest burden, a king lifts first and sets down last. A king does not require service of those he leads but provides it to them...A king does not expend his substance to enslave men, but by his conduct and example makes them free.”
Steven Pressfield, Gates of Fire

“Nothing fires the warrior’s heart more with courage than to find himself and his comrades at the point of annihilation, at the brink of being routed and overrun, and then to dredge not merely from one’s own bowels or guts but from one’s discipline and training the presence of mind not to panic, not to yield to the possession of despair, but instead to complete those homely acts of order which Dienekes had ever declared the supreme accomplishment of the warrior: to perform the commonplace under far-from-commonplace conditions.”
Steven Pressfield, Gates of Fire
