I’m curious to know how you feel about the following quotes:
- [there is a] “greater purpose for every single one of us, even if we’re stripped of all our wealth or our resources.”
- “One thing about honor, one thing about dignity — it’s not dependent on what’s written on a document…That comes from standing up and being truthful to who you are.”
- [He also vowed to] “continue to speak up for those people who cannot.”
- “I know that there are a lot of people who are suffering, and my oath, my commitment to them, doesn’t end…”
So, what do you think? Do these sound noble? Might they even be words you’ve said or thought at some point? Are they your battle cry?
The above quotes are from Lt. Dan Choi whose website bio reads:
Arabic Linguist.
Iraq Veteran.
West Point Graduate.
Infantry Officer.Gay… Fired… and Fighting Back!
Question is, does knowing who made the above statements change your mind about how you feel about them? Next question is, why?
