Favorite Movie Line or Quote:

• “You can’t handle the truth!!” – A Few Good Men, 1992
• I don’t say these things because I believe in the brute’ nature of men or that men must be brutalized to be combative. I believe in God, and I believe in human decency. But I firmly believe that any man’s finest hour — his greatest fulfillment to all he holds dear — is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle – victorious. – Vince Lombardi
