He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose
There are no great men, only great challenges that ordinary men are forced by circumstances to meet.

Old mate standing under a ladder seems a bit envious of George's lady at the time.
Plus he is standing under a ladder !

Valuable service but no CIB. That's always the dividing line.
Real men measure once and cut.

Also interesting is how he is standing only on his right leg, with his left foot up about 3 steps.
George was German born but finished in America's Army.
