words on the page and say them out loud.”

Warrior Spirit

The warrior is a William Wallace, who sacrifices home,
comfort, and ultimately his life for his belief that
freedom is worth all of these things. The warrior is a
23-year-old Army Specialist familiar with weapons
since childhood, but who must now wrap his mind
around the fact that he has had to take a human life
within 45 days of being deployed to Iraq. More
importantly, the warrior is not necessarily an
individual who clamors for war.  

The warrior is the one who is skilled at arms; who has
the capacity to discern strategies and develop tactics;
who possesses the dynamism not just to lead, but to
inspire peers and subordinates alike to persevere in the
face of daunting opposition.

The warrior spirit is conviction and tenacity.  It is
loyalty, duty, respect, honor, integrity, and personal
courage.  It is service to oneself and to one another,
carried out selflessly.  It is endurance beyond fear and
even pain; it is strength beyond endurance.  It is the
thing that demands of one that they go on living when
they have little remaining hope of thriving; that they
make just one more push in the drive to take the hill.  
The warrior spirit is the very reason—perhaps the
only reason—some of us are able to survive at all.
"We like thinking of you as the
magical flying beast of the
copy world.  Your work never ceases to
amaze!"
