[Hebrews 11:6]

There were innumerable heroes who fought (and governed) during that great war. My favorites include Lincoln, Grant, Sherman, John Ransom....

But there is one more hero now, for chronicling it every single day: you are that man, Homer. Unending thanks!

Thanks for all your hard work.
You helped keep me sane the last four years.
