We can offer them no better tribute than to protect what they have won for us." Ronald Reagan "At the core, the American citizen soldiers knew the difference between right and wrong, and they didn't want to live in a world in which wrong prevailed. So they fought, and won, and we, all of us, living and yet to be born, must be forever profoundly grateful." Stephen Ambrose Thus begins Why We Fight, a new photo-illustrated book on liberty and freedom and the values we American's hold dear but against which we have a military to defend Active-duty military personnel from all the branches provide powerful, very personal quotes on service to our nation.
