Additional quotes by Jim Webb
Friends are found on the battlefield, and unfortunately friends are also lost. And where do we find the measure of that sacrifice? How can we account for the value of that loss?

But clearly we can see it in the lives that were able to continue due to the acts of others who were not so fortunate.
