It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry peace, peace, but there is no peace. The war is actually begun. The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms. Our brethren are already in the field. Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? what would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death!"
--Patrick Henry (1736-1799),"The War Inevitable" speech to the Virginia Convention, March 23, 1775

Let's Roll!

God bless these brave soldiers and all who made the ultimate sacrifice in the service of their country.

May they rest in pease.

They shall grow not old as we that are left grow old.
Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We shall remember them

...Lawrence Binyon.

Good soldiers one and all.

They will be missed but the mission continues.

RIP Warriors

[ExTexasRedhead]

There are none so blind as those who will not see aka the US Congress. We are engaged in WWIII and our elected politicians have no clue how to recognize that stark reality. I pray that the American voters send them all home to live in the mess they created.

[CyberAnt]

This is a great book - and really helps you to understand how difficult their job is. God Bless them all.

[PeteB570]

Don't need the book, I know.

I'm less than 5 miles from the site where the names were added.

As a side note. It's All American Week at Fort Bragg this week and the 82nd had their Pass In Review yesterday and a large drop out at Sicily DZ. They should be rolling up their chutes as I type.
