“This story shall the good man teach his son; And Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by, From this day to the ending of the world, But we in it shall be remembered- We few, we happy few, we band of brothers; For he to-day that sheds his blood with me Shall be my brother”

- St. Crispen’s Day Speech, Shakespeare’s Henry V

All I can do these days is pray all those great folks that have died in battles before me, for me, for our freedom reamin if we can keep America free, I pray our fight and the fight of those that gave their lives for a country of morals, of freedom, of so much, that it’s our turn to fight for that which they died. God I know that don’t make much sense, but that’s how I been prayin today, TY, for this. God Bless.
