"I feel that it is a sacrifice for me to be here in one sense of the word; but I do not wish myself back by any means. I feel that I am where duty called me." —Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain

His scholarly mind and raining, as well as his faith, gave him the solid judgment and courage he needed to be a leader of men in battle.

Through his faith, Chamberlain found peace and serenity; in battle, he exhibited courage and steadfastness; as a leader of men, he showed love and compassion; and in service to his country, he found purpose for his life.
