It\u2019s given to those God entrusts to be humanity\u2019s servants and protectors. As such, those who embrace the calling are to society what the Sheep-Dog is to the Sheep in protecting it from the Wolf. \n\nIt\u2019s because of the innate Warrior Spirit that the chosen ones cannot resist the passion that beckons the indefatigable engagement of all that is unrighteous. The unbridled pursuit and eradication of the wicked is the Warrior\u2019s most magnificent obsession, yet he is able to balance meekness and power, temperedness and aggression, gentleness and firmness, concern and compassion with each anchored to an indelible love for all humanity.  \n    \nThe honor and privilege to wear the Badge that signifies the Warrior\u2019s Knighting are unparalleled by any other earthly calling. The regalia adorned by the Warrior often draw social contempt, rejection and hate. It places a target squarely on his back, and despite the dangers, he completely gives of himself to fulfill his divine calling - because giving any less would be unsettling to his Spirit. And, though divinely chosen by God, sometimes the wolf wins the earthly battle, but it can never extinguish the Soul of a Warrior! \n    \nRest in Peace, Cpl. Jose \u201cSpeedy\u201d Espericueta.
