I wish to express my profound condolences to family and friends of Ronald Ward.
I offer my thanks for the true character that is embodied in this American soldier. May your sorrow be tempered by the fact that we now honor a true hero who answered the call to serve his country and dedicate a precious segment of his life to freedom.
In your difficult times be mindful that Ronald has left a mark on our world and in our hearts.
Stand Down Ronald. Your watch has ended. You made a difference. You will be missed.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.
