by Captain Alan W. Price

“Some great purpose and design is being worked out here below, of which we have the honor to be faithful servants.” — Winston Churchill, addressing a Joint Session of Congress in 1941, on the eve of World War II. All crisis shares this framework. We begin knowing little, but believe in the purpose of our efforts, and see its eventual end as a noble pursuit.
