"This one brings it home! Good read."

Thanks for the flag...

As one (of the last) Army ROTC cadet at Gettysburg College, our early morning PT runs would wind through the battlefield and parts of the sleepy little tourist town. Highly motivated cadre would boom double time cadence calls wich were enthusiastically echoed by the junior cadets. This was nixed when local residents and hotel guests complained to the college president. All I could think of at the time was, "...but this is the sound of freedom!"

Yes indeed!! It was the sound of freedom on both sides!

Screaming a cadence during 10 mile runs kept me in shape
so I could defend the rights of the civilians
insuring the freedoms that gave them the right to tell me to shut up!

Americans are so cool. !! :-)
Semper Fi Joe!
