The consciousness of belonging, vitally, to something beyond individuality; of being part of a personality that reaches we know not where, in space and in time, greatens the heart to the limit's of the soul's ideal." Joshua L Chamberlain-Medal of Honor winner for leadership at Little Round Top Gettysburg, PA July 1863
