This is our Valley Forge folks.

Thomas Paine:

" These are the times that try men's souls: The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like Hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as freedom should not be highly rated."

We have been through much pain so far and we will be tested in the future.
As Thomas Paine said, these are the times that tests men's souls.
Fight on.

You’re spot on. It is winter at Valley Forge.

“This is our Valley Forge folks.”

I get what you’re saying and agree with the sentiment, but, I didn’t have to eat tree bark this morning for breakfast.......yet.

Up next, amnesty. After that, even more assaults. This is just going to continue.
