"You sleep safe in your beds, because rough men stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who would do you harm."
George Orwell
"Those who cling to the untrue doctrine that violence never settles anything would be advised to conjure up the ghosts of Napoleon Bonaparte and of the Duke of Wellington and let them debate it. The ghost of Hitler could referee, and the jury might well be the Dodo, the Great Auk, and the Passenger Pigeon. Violence, naked force, has settled more issues in history than has any other factor, and the contrary opinion is wishful thinking at its worst. Nations and peoples who forget this basic truth have always paid for it with their lives and freedoms. "
Robert A. Heinlein

Thanks so much, Myron. That was absolutely beautiful. I’m going to pass it on in my blog soon. Too good not to. Thanks to all those men who served. And thank you too for keeping this nation free.

Everettt – yeah, I remember getting my Army related toys like a set of fatigues, a helmet, a wooden machine gun, etc.
phlegmmy – it is, isn’t it? And thanks for the thanks, as always. Makes us old guys feel like we did a little something.

I remember that Christmas. I was 15. My brother, 10 years older, was somewhere in Europe, with his regiment (Maisonneuve, from Montréal, Québec). We were so subdued at home, having sent parcels and letters, not knowing if it would reach him. We were unable to celebrate the holidays until he returned after the war. We owe so much to people like him and you. Thank you.

Claudia, if your brother is still with us, thank him for me. And thank you for the kind words but sometimes I don’t feel like I did much. Just bored holes in the ocean between liberty ports. But there were a couple of times….
