Military Merit Order

Famous quotes containing the words military, merit and/or order:

    “Others greater than I have already eulogized you, but none of them ever had the pleasure I had to feel the caresses of your warm, soft hands, to merit your warm embrace that was reserved only for us, to see your half-smile that always told us so much, that same smile which is no longer, frozen in the grave with you.”
    —Noa Ben-Artzi Philosof (b. 1978)
