Bravery isn't what it used to be.

It is what it is despite salutes or parades.

I have a special place in my heart for the folks that work tirelesly toward a goal. Teddy Roosevelt summed it up very well when he said:

"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by the dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions and spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly; so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat."

The valiant never taste of death but once."

"been down for at least an hour"
Freepers vs. DUmmies. Steel cage match. Who will survive?
(and I wonder if the awards site knows what happened to its server? LOL)

Regime Change Iran has also been nominated again.

But for some strange reason we are not in the Middle East category this year, although we came in second place last year.

This year we are in the Top 251-500 blogs category. We never intended to be a popular blog, but a special interest one, but here we are anyway.

Vote for Regime Change Iran here.
