Originally Stephen Decatur, in an after-dinner toast of 1816–1820:
“Our Country! In her intercourse with foreign nations may she always be in the right; but right or wrong, our country!”
Later stated by, and often attributed to, Carl Schurz, 1872.[1]
“My country, right or wrong; if right, to be kept right; and if wrong, to be set right.”
TO ALL OUR ACTIVE ARMED FORCES WE SALUTE YOU!
TO ALL OUR FALLEN ARMED FORCES WE THANK YOU FOR THE ULTIMATE SACRIFICE!
TO ALL OUR WOUNDED WARRIORS MAY THE DAYS THAT ARE YET TO COME BE BETTER FOR YOU!
