And today is the perfect day to stand up for those who fight for us and for freedom....I was just reminded by a friend that today 2/12/08 is the 199th anniversary of the birth of Abraham Lincoln.....
...hence my new tag line....
Happy Birthday, Mr. Lincoln.
How we need more men like you!
Important principles may and must be inflexible. — Abraham Lincoln
God give us men. The time demands
Strong minds, great hearts, true faith, and willing hands;
Men whom the lust of office does not kill;
Men whom the spoils of office cannot buy;
Men who possess opinions and a will;
Men who have honor; men who will not lie;
Men who can stand before a demagogue
And dam his treacherous flatteries without winking;
Tall men, sun-crowned, who live above the fog
In public duty and in private thinking. — Josiah Gilbert Holland. 1819-1881
