Timothy Ciciora, The Right Words at the Right Time Volume 2: Your Turn!
"I suddenly felt like the Grinch feels when he discovers what Chrismas is all about. For the first time in a long time, I felt like I had a purpose being in the Navy. It wasn't about money and rank or prestige. It was about raising the flag. We do what we do because no one else can or will do it. We fight so others can sleep at night. And I had forgotten that."

"تغلغل فيّ شعور مفاجئ، كشعور غرينش حين يكتشف جوهر عيد الميلاد. للمرة الأولى منذ زمن طويل، أحسست أن لوجودي في البحرية غاية وهدفًا. لم يكن الأمر متعلقًا بالمال أو الرتبة أو المكانة، بل كان يتعلق برفع العلم. إننا نفعل ما نفعله لأنه لا أحد غيرنا يستطيع أو يرغب في فعله. نقاتل لينام الآخرون بسلام ليلًا. وقد كنت قد نسيت ذلك."
