*"Be a man of principal. Fight for what you believe in. Keep your word.
Live with integrity. Be brave. Believe in something bigger than yourself.
Serve your country. Teach, Mentor. Give something back to society, Lead
from the front. Conquer your fears. Be a good friend. Be humble and
self-confident. Appreciate your friends and family. Be a leader and not a
follower. Be valorous on the field of battle and take responsibility for
your actions. Never forget those who were killed. Never let rest those who
killed them."*
Doug Zembiec
