I Came Through And I Shall Return.

Apart From An Innate Grasp Of Tactical Concepts, A Great Coach Must Possess The Essentials Attributes Of Leadership Which Mold Men Into A Cohesive, Fighting Team With An Invincible Will To Victory.

By Profession I Am A Soldier And Take Pride In That Fact. But I Am Prouder - Infinitely Prouder - To Be A Father. A Soldier Destroys In Order To Build; The Father Only Builds, Never Destroys. The One Has The Potentiality Of Death; The Other Embodies Creation And Life. And While The Hordes Of Death Are Mighty, The Battalions Of Life Are Mightier Still. It Is My Hope That My Son, When I Am Gone, Will Remember Me Not From The Battle Field But In The Home Repeating With Him Our Simple Daily Prayer, Our Father Who Art In Heaven.

Here Are Centered The Hopes And Aspirations And Faith Of The Entire Human Race. I Do Not Stand Here As Advocate For Any Partisan Cause, For The Issues Are Fundamental And Reach Quite Beyond The Realm Of Partisan Consideration. They Must Be Resolved On The Highest Plane Of National Interest If Our Course Is To Prove Sound And Our Future Protected. I Trust, Therefore, That You Will Do Me The Justice Of Receiving That Which I Have To Say As Solely Expressing The Considered Viewpoint Of A Fellow American.

The Soldier, Above All Other People, Prays For Peace, For He Must Suffer And Bear The Deepest Wounds And Scars Of War.

I See That The Flagpole Still Stands. Have Your Troops Hoist The Colors To Its Peak, And Let No Enemy Ever Haul Them Down.
