Robert M. Gates Quotes

For Inspiration, I Would Turn Again And Again To Lieutenant Jason "Jay" Redman, A Navy SEAL Who Had Been Shot Seven Times And Had Undergone Nearly Two Dozen Surgeries. He Had Placed A Hand-drawn Sign On The Door To His Room At Bethesda Naval Hospital. It Read: ATTENTION. To All Who Enter Here. If You Are Coming Into This Room With Sorrow Or To Feel Sorry For My Wounds, Go Elsewhere. The Wounds I Received I Got In A Job I Love, Doing It For People I Love, Supporting The Freedom Of A Country I Deeply Love. I Am Incredibly Tough And Will Make A Full Recovery. What Is Full? That Is The Absolute Utmost Physically My Body Has The Ability To Recover. Then I Will Push That About 20% Further Through Sheer Mental Tenacity. This Room You Are About To Enter Is A Room Of Fun, Optimism, And Intense Rapid Regrowth. If You Are Not Prepared For That, Go Elsewhere. From: The Management.
