“Peace and stability do not come free of charge. It takes hard work, often behind the scenes. It takes good equipment and well trained, dedicated soldiers. I hope you will support the efforts of our armed forces to train soldiers like this young Captain and provide her with a good gun, instead of the bad gun my father was given. I hope you will support our soldiers when they are out there and when they come home and when they are injured and need our care. They put their lives on the line for us, for you and we cannot let them done. I hope you will respect my soldiers, this soldier with this gun, because she wants a better world because she makes an active contribution to that better world, just like all of us here today. ~ Peter van Uhm
“The gun may be one of the most important instruments of peace and stability that we have in this world.” ~ Peter van Uhm
