"It wasn't the reward that mattered or the recognition you might harvest. It was your depth of commitment, your quality of service, the product of your devotion -- these were the things that counted in a life. When you gave purely, the honor came in the giving, and that was honor enough."

I thought he looked familiar; he is a beast.  I wonder though, how he would've faired with a medieval longbow of the 150-200lb pull range.
