Indiana War Casualties

War may sometimes be a necessary evil. But no matter how necessary, it is always an evil, never a
good. We will not learn how to live together in peace by killing each other's children.
Jimmy Carter

I'm fed up to the
ears with old men
dreaming up wars
for young men to
die in.
~George McGovern

To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by
the president, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally
treasonable to the American public.
~Theodore Rooselvelt

If there must be
trouble let it be in my
day, that my child
may have peace.
Thomas Paine

Photographs of those who chose to defend our country. Here's to our servicemen and servicewomen
who fight to keep us safe and build a better world for our children and their children. Freedom has and
never will be free.

Soldiers in Barracks-Choate Family Collection

Ours is a world of nuclear
giants and ethical infants.
We know more about war
than we know about
peace, more about killing
than we know about living.
We have grasped the
mystery of the atom and
rejected the Sermon on
the Mount.
Omar Bradley~
