Life Quote by Daniel D. Maurer
““That kid should have killed me with that gun, but didn’t. But here’s the thing: I was totally fine with that. Because of the way I was raised, I was fine with it then, in the moment he could have killed me, and I’m fine with it today. I suppose I could have shot back. I could have defended myself. As a soldier, I sure would have been okay with making that choice. I didn’t though, because I wasn’t willing to take that kid’s life in exchange for mine. I knew, right in that moment, that I was okay with dying because it meant that the boy would have gotten to live. He would have been able to grow up with the freedom to decide as a man whether to hate and kill or leave folks be.””
