The only obstacle to the realization of our plans for tomorrow are today's doubts.

In the spring of 1945 in Germany, in the early morning when the allies were preparing for the crossing of the Rhine, one soldier continuously walked back and forth along the shore. - What's the matter, private? asked nearby people. The young man replied: - I'm Afraid I'm a little nervous. - Neither do I, replied the stranger and the soldier put a hand on his shoulder. Let's take a walk along the shore and try to give each other some courage. Soldier did not know that the hand on his shoulder belonged to General Eisenhower.

Every time you open your mouth, you demonstrate your leadership qualities.

Not long ago Admiral Philip Jones visited the hospital in Lebanon, where he was treated victims of the attack. Blind sailor with a bandaged head, couldn't believe that he was visited by the representative of command of the naval forces of the United States. He touched the shoulder of the Admiral and began to feel the stars on the shoulder straps - one, two, three, four. The sailor nodded and showed signs that he was given a pen and paper. On the leaflet, he wrote: "Semper Fi" "Always faithful!" Shouldn't we always be faithful to the Homeland, as these brave people?

Decrepit nonagenarian politician has not been able to speak, but only lifted for a handshake weak dried hand, when Eisenhower entered the chamber. Two combat companion had not uttered a word, they silently thought about the fight for their principles, which were both in wartime and peacetime. In complete silence for ten minutes. Two Nations, two leaders, two friends. Churchill then opened his hand and slowly put their fingers in the victory sign - V!
