Bob Mathews was the bravest man I have ever met and he taught us all that sacrifice is not a word one reads about in the abstract, but it is something one does in support of what one loves. Many may sacrifice when the outcome positively reflects upon them in some beneficial manner. But it is rare indeed when one's conviction leads them to sacrifice all for an ideal beyond themselves. This is the message of both Bob Mathews and the Order/Bruders Schweigen.

Do not be confused by the word SACRIFICE. Sacrifice comes in many forms and on many levels. One need NOT do an act of violence and perhaps suffer for it to sacrifice. This general interpretation is incorrect. One can sacrifice their time, money or assistance in some form in support of an ideal they love. Without sacrifice we cannot hope to succeed. With it we cannot be defeated.

In closing, "Do your duty in all things, you can never do more, you should never wish to do less. Duty is the sublimest word in our language."
