Our American Heritage Is Greater

Early Youth Is A Baffling Time

Nathan Bedford Forrest ... Used His Horsemen As A Modern General Would Use Motorized Infantry. He Liked Horses Because He Liked Fast Movement, And His Mounted Men Could Get From Here To There Much Faster Than Any Infantry Could; But When They Reached The Field They Usually Tied Their Horses To Trees And Fought On Foot, And They Were As Good As The Very Best Infantry. Not For Nothing Did Forrest Say The Essence Of Strategy Was To Git Thar Fust With The Most Men.

Between 1861 And 1865, Americans Made War On Each Other And Killed Each Other In Great Numbers - If Only To Become The Kind Of Country That Could No Longer Conceive Of How That Was Possible.

Progress Is The Sum Of Small Victories Won By Individual Human Beings.

The Enduring Realization That When A Great Challenge Comes, The Most Ordinary People Can Show That They Value Something More Than They Value Their Own Lives. When The Last Of The Veterans Had Gone, And The Sorrows And Bitterness Which The War Created Had At Last Worn Away, This Memory Remained.
