Seriously, I did it because it was my duty, as God gave me to see my duty. After that, I did it for the good women of my people, and the future of my people's children, and for the honor of my people who did their duty before me.
Sentimental old cuss!!! Next I'll be telling my grandchildren what I did in the war!!! Actually, I worked like he!! and had a few narrow escapes, end of story!!! Still life in me, but I must have used up most of my good luck by now, now I count on His Grace. Luck you can never count on, but the Lord is always.
You said "We owe you more than we can ever repay." What I did was a gift to God, and to my people. A gift freely given is not to be repaid. You are one of us, one outfit trying to turn the tide.
Me too. ;)
If no thanks are in order then I offer gratitude.
