“I am still confused as to why they chose to lie and tried to make me a legend when the real heroics of my fellow soldiers that day were, in fact, legendary. People like Lori Piestewa and First Sergeant Dowdy who picked up fellow soldiers in harm's way. Or people like Patrick Miller and Sergeant Donald Walters who actually fought until the very end. The bottom line is the American people are capable of determining their own ideals of heroes and they don't need to be told elaborate tales.” PeopleWayNeedsFirstsStillsRealEndsFactsLyingLinesHeroCapableIdealsFellowsBottomSoldierHarmTalesConfusedLegendsBottom LineLegendarySergeantsFellow Soldiers Author:Jessica Lynch
“The point is that we are among those who cannot get their mouths around all the little Yeses that add up to tacit acceptance of a world run by crackpot realists and subject to blind drift. And that, you see, is something to which we do belong; we belong to those who are still capable of personally rejecting. Our minds are not yet captive.” WorldMindLittlesStillsRunningSubjectsAcceptanceCapableMouthsBlindAddRealistCaptivesRejectingTacitCrackpots Book:C.
