“Unlike the millionaire next door, the soldier next door is uncelebrated by commerce and culture. He is the sheepdog, the ranger, the sentry who walks our walls. She is the corpsman, the driver, the mate who patrols our harbors. It was my brief privilege to stand with—not the prettiest people, nor the best educated or most flossily advantaged—but the very best people my country could offer up.”
― Jack Lewis, Nothing in Reserve: true stories, not war stories
