“That night, I took off my uniform for the last time.  In the years I had worn it, I had benefitted beyond my wildest hopes from all that is good in this country, and I had overcome its lingering faults.”

“I had found something to do with my life that was honorable and useful, that I could do wall, and that I loved doing.  That is rare good fortune in anyone’s life. My only regret was that I could not do it all over again.”  Colin Powell, An American Journey, p. 591.

We might honor his memory by doing as he suggested back in 1995: We have to start thinking of America as a family” and “stop screeching at each other, stop hurting each other, and instead start caring for, sacrificing for, and sharing with each other.” An American Journey, p. 611
