Gift Gugu Mona
“As you climb the mountains, you will be scarred, you will be scared, and you will be stained, but with endurance, you will rise with so much grace.”
Gift Gugu Mona, Coming to Grips with the Mountains and Valleys of This World

Michael G. Kramer
“People of various parts of France, Belgium, Holland, Germany, Poland, the USSR, and other places, were living among the ruins in the best way that they could. Because I was alone and homeless as well as confused, I opted to join the French Foreign Legion. When I was in the Wehrmacht, I thought that their discipline was extreme. However, it was nothing when compared to the discipline as practised by the Foreign Legion!”

(A Gracious Enemy & After the War Volume Two)”
Michael G. Kramer
