Quote by Craig D. Lounsbrough

“I play the scenario of the hero out in my head, and in doing so I revel at the thought of boldly abating the darkness and saving the day. Yet, until I face the searing scourge of battle and am thickly bloodied by it, I will not understand that to imagine oneself as a hero without being laden with the scars of battle is fiction only. And if I am sufficiently brave, maybe someday I will turn that fiction to fact.”

“Making history was never the aim of the Norwegian saboteurs, nor of the British sappers who were sent before them. After the war, the sacrifice of the British Royal Engineers and RAF crews of the ill-fated Operation Freshman was not forgotten. Thirty-seven bodies were recovered and buried at gravesites in Norway. Bill Bray’s headstone reads, "To live in the hearts of those that loved me is not to die.”

“A sister came to meet me the other day all the way from France, and the first thing she said was, "how can you even bear to live like this - working ceaselessly, with no one by your side to share your agony!" I looked up to her face with a gentle smile and said, "that's the price I chose to pay, my dearest, when I took up the responsibility to unify humanity." I am the thread that ties you all together - that's the purpose behind my existence, just like the sun's purpose is to give light and warmth. I exist to serve and I'll die serving. Fortunate are those who get destroyed in the service of others, for the highest use of life is to live for others.”
