The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

The man who will go where his colors will go, without asking, who will fight a phantom foe in a jungle and mountain range, without counting, and who will suffer and die in the midst of incredible hardship, without complaint, is still what he has always been, from Imperial Rome to sceptered Britain to Democratic America.



He is the stuff of which legions are made. His pride is his colors and his regiment; his training hard and thorough and coldly realistic, to fit him for what he must face; and his obedience is to his orders. As a legionary, he held the gates of civilization for the classical world... he has been called United States Marine.



Lieutenant Colonel T.R. Fehrenbach, US Army in "This Kind of War"

I was that which others did not want to be. I went where others feared to go and did what others failed to do. I asked nothing from those that gave nothing and reluctantly accepted the thought of eternal loneliness should I fail. I have cried, pained and hoped; but most of all I have lived times others would say are best forgotten. At least one day I can be proud of what I was and will always be...
