"It is the soldier..."


"It is the soldier, not the reporter who has given us the freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us the freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who gives us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves beneath the flag, and whose coffin is draped by the flag, who allows the protester to burn the flag.”

— Father Dennis Edward O’Brien, Sergeant, USMC

A letter from a general's spouse

"Bill --I just read your email and so appreciate you mentioning non-commissioning cadets in the Corps. Our son was a member of the NGC Corps of Cadets for 4 years but was not able to commission due to a preexisting medical condition. Of the many many parades and guest speakers I sat through no one ever mentioned those non-commissioning cadets. My son chose NGC knowing he could not commission. He chose it for the strong academics, structure, and camaraderie. It was the best decision he ever made and his time at North Georgia has served him well.

Didn't mean to ramble but just wanted to say thank you.
Sincerely,"
