“So here they are, the dog-faced soldiers, the regulars, the fifty-cents-a-day professionals riding the outposts of the nation, from Fort Reno to Fort Apache, from Sheridan to Stark.

But wherever they rode and whatever they fought for, that place became the United States.”
—Frank S. Nugent (1908–1965)

“I’ll tell you how the Sun rose—
A Ribbon at a time—”
—Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)

“For millions of men and women, the church has been the hospital for the soul, the school for the mind and the safe depository for moral ideas.”
