I'd rather be lucky than good, but I'd rather KNOW I'm good than HOPE to get lucky.
I have plenty to fight for, and I think there's a time for war. I just don't want to fight some other country's battles.
NB: I have never served in the armed forces

This makes me want to get out my Patton DVD's, the movie and the real ones.

OORAH! On this, the one day of the year I'll dance with old demons, I drink a toast to my brothers that never made it home and the ones that carry the scars of their service for the rest of their lives. I say Semper Fi my brothers as long as there is breath in my body you will never be forgotten, now rest in peace, I've got this watch.
I hope everyone will take a minute this Memorial day and remember that a heavy price has been paid for the freedom you enjoy, don't ever disrespect that.

I know too many people who are not with us this memorial day, god bless my brothers in arms and lets all hoist a round in memory!
If the enemy is in range, so are you.
