“A wonderful book about Arlington National Cemetery and
the men and women who serve with such love and devotion.” - DONALD
J TRUMP President of the United States
"Poignant. ... An encomium to the martial virtues as embodied by
[Cotton's] former unit, the storied 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment--the
Old Guard. ... Cotton's account of the noble regiment established
at the dawn of our nation and still standing sentry over those who
gave 'the last, full measure of devotion' to the republic is a
welcome reminder that those virtues still exist somewhere in
America." - Commentary
"A moving, reverent history--a tribute, really--to 'The Old Guard'
... An ode to excellence and caring in service to the nation. It is
an inspiring read for every American." - ROBERT M. GATES, former
U.S. Secretary of Defense
“Sacred Duty deserves a wide readership. This book is a fitting and
well-crafted tribute to the soldiers who render honors to fellow
warriors who serve and sacrifice to protect our nation and our way
of life. In telling that story, Senator Cotton also reveals the
ethos that connects warriors to one another and the citizens in
whose name they fight. He reveals the bonds of trust, respect,
affection and willingness to give the last full measure of devotion
for freedom and for each other. In doing so he helps his fellow
Americans understand not only the hardships, but also the
tremendous rewards of service in our military.” - GENERAL H R
MCMASTER former National Security Advisor
