The First Time I ever used HTML

I have always been incredibly interested in the military and everything about it. I love how the US Army stands for Loyalty, and bearing the true faith of the United States, they recognize their Duty as soldiers, they Respect other people.  I love how everyday they put their lives on the line in Selfless Service, and how the Army upholds Honor in their actions, or how they believe in having Integrity, but I mostly respect their <Personal Courage.


So naturally when I first used HTML coding for something, I created a database of every vehicle the United States Armed Forces use in today's time.  I gave statistics, images, facts, stories, summaries of what it is used for, and which branches use that certain piece of equipment.  Pretty much anything you would ever need to know about it, basically a Wiki page for Military gear.  It took close to 3 months to finish, and due to the costs of having someone host a website for you I never put it up.  However after accomplishing that I stopped coding, never got back into it. I forgot a lot about what I had learned, so I felt this project would be easier than it has turned out to be. 

I have always been a collector of quotes, I can name 6 from Patton, around 8 from Teddy Roosevelt, a few from JFK, and a few others from famous commanders of the past.  Of all of them, one has stuck with me more than anything, and I think it will with you too.
"Remember that guy that quit?  Neither does anybody else."
So this task may have turned out to be more difficult than I first thought, but why quit and make all the work for nothing?
