When ever I start feeling sad or sorry, or worse, feeling like it was a needless loss, for the men and women who have died for this country, a qoute keeps coming back to me and it helps me feel proud for those who came before and thankful they existed. So instead I celebrate them, not mourn them. I think Patton said it:
"It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men ever lived"

One of my favorite quotes as well. I am not sure who said it though. Just those words stick with me.
I served 6 1/2 years as an Electronic Tech on a nuclear submarine. Those that know me, will say, "That explains a lot".
btw, nice Good Morning Vietnam reference there.
