We often talk about those that give their lives in the service of their country. And while Janet Frasier did just that, that's not what her life was about. The following are the names of the men and women who did not die in service, but who are in fact alive today because of Janet.

It's usually so hard to shut you up.

Dr. Daniel Jackson: This is kinda more than about attaining new technology for you, isn't it? Major Samantha Carter: You mean helping Warrick? He did once risk his life for me. Dr. Daniel Jackson: Yeah, I heard that. I just think that there's something else. Major Samantha Carter: Look, I know that this could be dangerous. But this is our job, right? It's what we signed on to do. We take risks in the hopes of achieving new levels of technology. If- and I stress 'if'- participating in this race happens to be a little bit... [inhales through her teeth, faining ignorance]... I dunno... Dr. Daniel Jackson: Fun? Major Samantha Carter: [grins, shrugs] What's a girl to do?

	Season 7 / Episode 3: - Fragile Balance Major General George Hammond: Would anyone care to speculate how a boy could be aware of our most classified information? Major Samantha Carter: Well, sir, it-it could be him. Dr. Daniel Jackson: There is a physical resemblance. Major General George Hammond: But he can't be more than 15 years old. Are you saying Colonel O'Neill has somehow regressed more than 30 years overnight? Dr. Daniel Jackson: Stranger things have happened. Teal'c: Name but one.

	Season 7 / Episode 3: - Fragile Balance Young Jack O'Neill: I don't plan on staying like this. Major Samantha Carter: Well, in the meantime, may I make a suggestion? Try enjoying this as much as we are... sir.
	Season 7 / Episode 3: - Fragile Balance Dr. Daniel Jackson: There's no easy way to tell you this, so... Sam's just gonna come out and say it. Major Samantha Carter: Well, sir, as you know, the Asgard depend on a cloning technology... Young Jack O'Neill: Oh, for cryin' out loud! Teal'c: You have been cloned, O'Neill.

This was gonna be the crown jewel in the entire Ancient domain, only it was still under construction when the plague broke out. Major Samantha Carter: Two words: gate address.
	Season 7 / Episode 1: - Fallen (1) Jack O'Neill: All I'm sayin', just for the record, this is the wackiest plan we've ever come up with.

Jack O'Neill: [still walking] Oh, yeah. Major Samantha Carter: [calling after O'Neill] Wackier than-than blowing up a sun? Jack O'Neill: [over his shoulder] Yep. Major Samantha Carter: [slightly resigned] He's probably right.
