What is a Warrior?

Go check it out at the below address, then leave your thoughts...Semper

We have always had warriors, from   as far back in history as one can go  —  warriors are timeless.

  Warriors have a moral code and   are not simply trained killers (as   they are all too frequently   portrayed).

  If we did not have warriors, we   would undoubtedly be speaking   another language, German,    Japanese, Chinese, or Russian.

  Warriors are born, they are not   created. Certainly they are trained,   but to be a warrior is a calling.

  We should be forever grateful to our   warriors and to their families who   are all so courageous.

  We should honor our warriors.   Warriors are NOT, as they are   commonly portrayed, victims with   no where else to go but the military.

  This project will show people what   intelligent, honorable, and brave   people we have standing in the way   of the free world’s demise.
