WhiskeyBoarder:
Well said. I think that SGT Ryndych would have been proud of your words. His decision proved that our selection process works, and we get the men we are looking for.
Thank you for your service. You answered your nation's call, and did what most refuse to do. If more did that, we would not be having some of the problems we are having right now. You have no reason to feel shame over your decision.
Sorry for your loss. Drive on.
TR

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, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in 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 fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat." - President Theodore Roosevelt, 1910
