"By profession I am a soldier and take pride in that fact," said General Douglas MacAuthur. "But I am prouder, infinitely prouder, to be a father. A soldier destroys in order to build. The father only builds, he never destroys. The one has the potentialities of death; the other embodies creation and life. And while the hordes of death are mighty, the battles of life are mightier still. My hope is that my son, when I am gone, will remember me not from the battle, but in the home, repeating with him one simple daily prayer, 'Our Father which art in Heaven."
May God bless every father, everwhere.
