Warriors...

Two U.S. Army soldiers focus on the door revealed in the beam of a flashlight as they prepare to breach the door during a search for weapons caches in Baghdad on April 16. The soldiers are from Echo Company, 2nd Squadron, 2nd Stryker Cavalry Regiment.

"Some people were meant to be 911...some people were meant to call 911"
Ilario Pantano
Lieutenant, United States Marine Corps

"Warriors are born, they are not created.
Certainly they are trained, but to be a warrior is a calling.
We should be forever grateful to our warriors and to their families who are all so courageous.
We should honor our warriors.
Warriors are NOT, as they are commonly portrayed, victims with no where else to go but the military."
Warriors...In Their Own Words
