Perseverance!

I prefer to agree with General Washington that his success was underwritten by God. Yet it makes me wonder what power accounts for General Vo Giap's success.

So the Russians pushed back when the West placed missles within the range of Russia. Seems like the US have forgotten about that. Not quite the same today, but close enough to apply.

I once asked a former POW from Hanoi Hilton how he endured. He said: belief in America and faith in God.

If you look up the word "intrepid," you should see Teddy Roosevelt's picture.

Success requires failures, and sometimes those failures are extremely costly.

Burris is, or should be, a role model. We should consider how, in our civilian lives, we might reflect his example.
