I think of my dad. And of all those poor brave bastages who nevr made it back home.

How does one impart the significance of events like this to some snot-nosed kid texting his pals about the latte he's drinking at FiveBucks...

I salute the lads who swallowed their gorge and ran toward the fire. We owe them more than can ever be counted.


...usually with a size 10 EE Black Nocona. :cowboy: :devilgrin:

I've said it before and I'll say it again, as a country we no longer have a sense of Honor.
 
I wasn't referring to the volunteers who, thankfully, keep us safe and allow that kid to drink his latte. No praise is too high for them.

What I believe, and maybe I'm an optimist, is that when push comes to shove, and we need that kid to put down his latte and start to serve, that like generations before him he probably won't be found wanting.
