Flag Steward - Honors and Awakens Our Flag to Inform and Inspire Citizens
with a 'Motivation Monday' quote:
with a 'Motivation Monday' quote:
"It's lack of faith that makes people afraid of meeting challenges, and I believed in myself."
-Muhammad Ali
[ 1960 Summer Games Gold Medalist in Boxing, Muhammad Ali = public domain image ]
On May 8th of 1967, Muhammad Ali was indicted / charged with a crime for refusing to enter the Army. He was selected in the Vietnam War draft to serve his country, but he refused to serve because of his religious beliefs. His court case went all the way to the US Supreme Court. And, he won his case; thereby, further solidifying the term "conscientious objector" and the controversy it brews among citizens.
Monday Mood Buster:
Muhammad Ali was quite the character and made some memorable inspirational and funny quotes.
One of his funny ones is:
"I should be a postage stamp. That's the only way I'll ever get licked."
