It is not the critic who counts:
not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles
or where the doer of deeds could have done better.
The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena,
whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood,
who strives valiantly,
who errs and comes up short again and again,
because there is no effort without error or shortcoming,
but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions,
who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best,
knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement,
and who, at the worst, if he fails,
at least he fails while daring greatly,
so that his place shall Never be
with those cold and timid souls
who knew neither victory nor defeat." drinker


Theodore Roosevelt
"Citizenship in a Republic,"
Speech at the Sorbonne, Paris, April 23, 1910

That is a site with a lot of quotes geared towards Marines. I don't mean to slight any of the other branches of the military as all are equally important and respected. I went there for one quote in particular but I just couldn't bring myself to post just one and leave the others behind... As the Marines say and beleive...

Leave no man behind...

Here's a quick Jewish Prayer for surviving danger:

Barukh ata Adonai Eloheinu melekh ha‑olam, ha‑gomel lahayavim tovot sheg'malani kol tov. Amen.

Mi sheg'malkha (for a woman: sheg'malayikh) kol tov hu yigmalkha (yigmalayikh) kol tov. Selah.


Blessed are You, LORD, our God, King of the Universe, who bestows good things on the unworthy, and has bestowed on me every goodness. Amen.

He Who has bestowed on you every goodness, may He continue to bestow on you every goodness. Selah.


Because we do have Jewish Soldiers too!

But I am saying this for ALL the soldiers.
