“All great and honorable actions are accompanied with great difficulties, and both must be enterprised and overcome with answerable courage.” William Bradford was famously quoted by President John F. Kennedy in his speech when he said, "we do these things, and the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard." Yesterday, Joseph Walker was laid to rest, an Air Force veteran, who in life had no friends or family, but upon hearing his final request that people attend his funeral, thousands did so, until a line of cars stretched into the horizon. These things give me great hope for America's future, for we have inherited the iron will that drives men to the stars.
