Let us not forget to remember our Vets today.
Couple relevant things to share:
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 by 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… — Thomas Paine, “The Crisis”
As much as I cannot stand the dailymail site:
Could you imagine FDR saying, 'We were attacked yesterday on Pearl Harbor. I really don't want to talk about who did it?' Republicans rip into Obama's tone-deaf terrorism speech (Huckabee)Republican presidential hopefuls drew sharp distinction between Obama's Oval Office address and the words of FDR 74 years ago tomorrow in the wake of Pearl Harbor.
