Matt,
Proud of your service to our United States of America- 3 yrs - and your commissioning! You are a man of fine character.
Wanted to encourage you with a quote i read that reminds me of you in "In the Hands of Providence- Joshua Chamberlain". This was during the maneuver called " refusing the line" prior to the Battle of Gettysburg.
The long study, discipline, and training together with their indomitable resolution and character were paying.. rewards.
Chamberlain was unaware that "all his life experiences had prepared him for this day"
"We know not of the future, and cannot plan for it much. But we can hold our spirits and our bodies so pure so high, we may cherish such thoughts and such ideals, and dream such dreams of lofty purpose, that we can determine and know what manner of men we will be whenever the hour strikes, that calls to noble action... no man becomes suddenly different from his habit and cherished thought." (JLC)
