We had another spate of storms this evening. No Motorcycle rides THIS weekend!

[ConorMacNessa]

Good evening, Kathy and Star!

***HUGS***



Thanks very much – coming aboard! Rendering Hand Salutes to our National Colors and to the Officer of the Deck!

And thanks very much for tonight’s Hall of Heroes thread! Corporal Anthony Casamento, USMC, (MOH) is an outstanding addition to our Hall of Heroes!



Another outstanding Marine of the Fighting Fifth!

Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

[ConorMacNessa]

Thanks, Old Sarge! I found that speech, and the quote from 1 Maccabees, in a search through Churchill speeches of WWII. I was very taken with it and I've incorporated it in many of my graphics.

I have fought a good fight,
I have finished my course,
I have kept the faith.
2 Timothy 4:7 (KJV)

"Arm yourselves, and be ye men of valour, and be in readiness for the conflict;
For it is better for us to perish in battle than to look upon the outrage of our nation and our altar.
As the Will of God is in Heaven, even so let it be."
(1 Maccabees 3:58–60)

THE SOLDIER

If I should die, think only this of me:
That there's some corner of a foreign field
That is forever England. There shall be
In that rich earth a richer dust concealed;
A dust whom England bore, shaped, made aware,
Gave, once, her flowers to love, her ways to roam;
A body of England's, breathing English air,
Washed by the rivers, blest by suns of home.
And think, this heart, all evil shed away,
A pulse in the eternal mind, no less
Gives somewhere back the thoughts by England given;
Her sights and sounds; dreams happy as her day;
And laughter, learnt of friends; and gentleness,
In hearts at peace, under an English heaven.

Good evening, Mac...*HUGS*...did you wait on Mrs MacNessa hand and foot?

Still raining?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Wishing you spring...soon!

[ConorMacNessa]

We made breakfast for her - omelets, bacon and sausage. John Man cooked a quartet of think New York Strips on the grill - two-inchers - outstanding!

I got her a tablet with case that she's enjoying - no need for a smartphone now.

Good evening, laplata...((HUGS))...a good day for you?

Mr Casamento was quite a hero for sure.

[yarddog]

Never forget, Churchill was half American.

[laplata]

Hi Kathy! ((Hugs))!

A pretty good day, thanks.

I hope you had a good one, too, and your snow is melted and nice spring weather is all you get until summer. LOL

[The Mayor]

Thank you! We had a good relaxing day. How about you?

[ConorMacNessa]

Indeed! He often described himself as an Anglo-American Alliance!

Churchill was a most influential figure for me back in my formative years, when I read every book of history that I could lay my hands on, including, of course, his History of the English-Speaking Peoples and the Second World War.

It's no surprise to me that Obama banished his bust from the Oval Office. How could anyone bear to have the face of a man peering at him every day whose long, distinguished career in the service of Freedom, the interests of societal order, and the preservation of Western Civilization stands as a stinging chastisement, refutation and condemnation of the class-strife, discord and misrule that Obama and his ilk seek to inflict on us all?

Must retire – the 0445 Reveille approaches relentlessly.

Good night, God bless you, and God bless the United States of America!

Godspeed our Troops around the Globe – especially those in harm’s way – by virtue of their service and sacrifice we continue to live in Freedom!
