Tom's Story
Tom's schools include St. Dominic Regional High School. Tom later attended Norwich University.
Books Tom likes include The Bible. TV shows Tom likes include NCIS.
One of Tom's favorite quotes is:"Joan of Arc (France, 1412-1431): "For those who believe in God, no exlanation is necessary. For those who do not believe in God, no explanation is possible."
George Orwell: "People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf."
Winston Churchill: "Truth is incontrovertible; malice may attack it and ignorance may deride it; but, in the end; there it is."
The 13th Valley by John M. Del Vecchio: "Every soldier has to salute an officer as he goes by. You make more money and get better housing than enlisted soldiers, most of whom have more experience than you do. But, when the bullets are flying, and the privates won’t move, and the sergeants won’t move, and fear has gripped everything, then it falls to you. That’s why you have the commission. When that day comes and you have to get up and say 'follow me,' that is the day you will have earned every salute you ever get." I have earned them. Think about the Christian equivalent to being an officer, and strive to be one.
Thomas Sowell, May 11, 2004: "It is amazing how many people seem to think that the government exists to turn their prejudices into laws."
F. Thomas Keefe: "True leadership is for the benefit of the lead, not the fulfillment of the leader."

Gen. George Patton: "Success is how high you bounce when you hit bottom."
James Taranto, WSJ: "The ability to keep one's cool, not the propensity to lose it, is a manifestation of the strength that makes a real man."
Ronald Wilson Reagan, 40th POTUS: "We must be staunch in our conviction that freedom is not the sole prerogative of a lucky few, but the inalienable and universal right of all human beings."
John Stuart Mill: "War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."
Tom Clancy: "A critic is somebody who wishes he could do something, but can't, and then criticizes those who can."
David Horowitz: "The left has these romantic notions about life. The problem though is that these notions are unraveled by Reality. They have wonderful fantasies about what the world could be like, but they can’t precipitate those fantasies, and they end up having destructive results."
Anonymous: "A true leader has the confidence to stand alone, the courage to make decisions, and the compassion to listen to the needs others. He does not set out to be a leader, but becomes one by the quality of his actions, and the integrity of his intent. In the end, leaders are much like eagles. They don’t flock. You find them one at a time."".
