But above all of them ranked the chickadee because of its indomitable spirit.”“- Tom Brown, Jr.” “Face your monster boldly, the whole world will cheer you on. Run from your monster fearfully, Heaven will cry over your pieces.”— Jessiqua Wittman “Soldiers, when committed to a task, can’t compromise.
