Air-Force.ca's Fallen Comrades

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old



It is by no means enough that an officer be capable...He should be a gentleman of liberal education, refined, manners, punctilious courtesy, and the nicest sense of personal honor... No meritorious act of a subordinate should escape his attention, even if the reward be only one word of approval. Conversely, he should not be blind to a single fault in any subordinate.

- John Paul Jones, 1775
