In the mountainous regions of Korea where the going has been tough, many a combat Marine owes his life to the men who took him off the hill the Korean Service Corps. All civilians, many of them old men, many of them young boys, they work for meager salaries doing such thankless jobs as carrying litters, running supplies, digging forward aid bunkers and laying barbed wire at night.
We are not weak, if we make proper use of those means which the God of nature
hath placed in our power... The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the
vigilant, the active, the brave.... Patrick Henry.
