As important as our stories are, we veterans are among the lucky ones. We returned home to our loved ones, and our sacrifices don't stack up to the ones made by those who didn't. We as a people must never forget those who didn't get to come home or their loved ones who have a vacant chair at the table.

— Hershel W. Williams Foreword to The Rifle (2021)
