"Bravery is being the only one who knows you're afraid." —Colonel David Hackworth

"Rock throwing, it seems, is part of being a boy in Jordan. It was the problem in the other incident too. A group of young women volunteers in another village were having an on-going problem of harassment by boys throwing rocks. But none of the volunteers in the other villages reported any problems. Our little problem in my village had been, after all, somewhat self-induced. After the regular school year started, we went back to the same school for a ministudent teaching experience and had no problems with the same students. Of course, we always had a regular Jordanian teacher in the room during these lessons." —Living Between Iraq and a Hard Place by Martin Feess

"Getting into the Peace Corps to begin with required a great deal of patience and persistence for Karen and me. The process of application for the Peace Corps was, at that time, long and frustrating. There were background checks, credit checks, mounds of paperwork, and a detailed physical. The whole process seemed to be designed so that if you had any doubt about serving you would become exasperated and give up." —Martin “Marty” Feess, author of "Living Between Iraq and a Hard Place"

"Karen and I were part of a group of thirty-two volunteers. Naturally most of the group was young. There were, however, a half dozen of us senior citizens ranging in age from forty-six to seventyfive. The younger people were all well educated and intelligent. Many had studied the Middle East or Arab culture in college. I soon discovered that most were more well-traveled than Karen and I and sophisticated beyond their years. During training I sometimes felt like a partially educated hillbilly—but a hillbilly with something to contribute. I liked these people and I soon felt that I was on a great adventure—the time of my life." —Martin “Marty” Feess, Living Between Iraq and a Hard Place
