I didn't know Nov. 11 was also Poland Independence Day. Happy Independence day, Matt!

Thanks for posting that speech. That and the Crispin's Day speech are my personal faves from Henry V, a great play for military people.

Happy Veterans Day to my fellow vets and all in the Foxhole.

Once again we've marked the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month. It's our armed services and the men and women who serve that prevent a black midnight of darkness for our country.

Today, I'm especially proud of vets who served in Vietnam and Iraq. The defeat of John Effing Kerry finally vindicates the vets who he smeared as war criminals thirty years ago. And I salute the Iraq vets, who are enduring yet more smears from our mainstream media and had to listen to a candidate for president call the war they are fighting a mistake. The Iraq vets are fighting on the front lines of the war against terrorism and I am profoundly grateful to them.

Today in Fallujah our fighting men
show Khamenei and Kim Il Sung
freedom's future is assured.

God Bless your father for his service, Phil.

My dad was in pilot training when the war ended and never got out to a carrier.

Thank you to all who have served the nation and for all who are currently in service. We can never repay the debt we owe.

That is a great quote and thanks for the links.

Still haven't figured a way to explain/elaborate it in a way that will make sense to others.
So I'll justy say "unnngh!' and be done with it?
