Bravest of the brave, most generous of the generous, never had country more faithful friends than you.
...but you can't stay here.
I have always tempered my killing with respect for the game pursued. I see the animal not only as a target but as a living creature with more freedom than I will ever have. I take that life if I can, with regret as well as joy, and with the sure knowledge that nature's ways of fang and claw or exposure and starvation are a far crueler fate than I bestow. - Fred Bear

Just to reference the quote (thanks for posting that, btw), it was said by Sir Ralph Lilley Turner MC, who served with the 2nd/3rd Queen Alexandra's Own Gurkha Rifles in Mesopotamia during the First World War.

I've worked with them. It's shameful. Wonder how many more MP's expenses can be filed with this tiny saving. Embarrassingly shameful!

I find this to be BEYOND WORDS, ( that can be used on this forum )
Although an American, I served in a "Elite" Group", in the early 60s. To a MAN our UNITS held these MEN in TOTAL RESPECT.Not only for their BRAVERY, but because we felt ( & in my case still do feel ) they were & are MEN of HONOR
My personal message to them is MY BROTHERS, HOLD YOUR HEADS HIGH, YOU KNOW WHO & WHAT YOU ARE !!
