Those who have known freedom and then lost it, have never known it again

There are some who've forgotten why we have a military. It's not to promote war. It's to be prepared for peace. There's a sign over the entrance to the Fairchild Air Force Base in Washington state, and that sign says it all: 'Peace is our profession'.

State problems should involve state solutions.

Going to college offered me the chance to play football for four more years.

To this day, America is still the abiding alternative to tyranny. This is our purpose in the world, nothing more and nothing less.

We desire peace. But peace is a goal, not a policy. Lasting peace is what we hope for at the end of our journey. It doesn't describe the steps we must take nor the paths we should follow to reach that goal.

I spoke to ears that refused to hear.
