"Duty, Honor, Country" - those three hallowed words reverently dictate what you ought to be, what you can be, what you will be.

What they seek now is friendly guidance, understanding, and support - not imperious direction - the dignity of equality and not the shame of subjugation.
I address you with neither rancor nor bitterness in the fading twilight of life, with but one purpose in mind: to serve my country.
