If you want to see real live heroes,not the corner store type, but ones who literally saved the world from oppression, enslavement, that surely would have been the fate of the vanquished as it indeed was in the lands of Occupied Nazi territory, get to see the bravest of the brave in this video, the pilots of the RAF, who by the thinnest of margins, relentless fortitude, intrepid heroism managed to snatch the world to safety, victory, freedom by the skin of their teeth from the very jaws of the Nazi Behemoth poised, at the ready for imminent conquest of the Island Fortress of Britain, the darkest days in the history of Man.

I should have pre-empted you on that.

My favorite Churchill quote, my second favorite here below.

Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.
