I have always known that New Hampshire is a special place, with a community of people who come together to solve our common challenges.

I was never one to patiently pick up broken fragments and glue them together again and tell myself that the mended whole was as good as new. What is broken is broken - and I'd rather remember it as it was at its best than mend it and see the broken places as long as I lived.

If you ask a soldier what is the key to this confidence, they will likely answer their discipline and their training.
