Bravery without bounds can show at any time at any time. Yes indeed these three young men and any like them can be/should be considered protector of USA lives as in any combat situation.

Thanks, Nana Hope, for today's Pledge…((HUGS)). Thanks, AfghanMan and Penguin Girl, for your service to America.

How are the grapes doing?

Thanks very much, Kathy! And thanks to you and Star for tonight's Hall of Heroes thread!

Gen. George S. Patton was an eloquent son of a ... you know the rest!



Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

[BIGLOOK]

Patton certainly had ......'command' of language, didn't he?

[Publius]

Patton once said that a military officer should be able to deliver a 15 minute profanity-laced rant without repeating one single profanity.

Good evening, Mac...*HUGS*...hope you’ve had some good rest this weekend.

How’s the pain doing? Getting under control? Helped by the back brace?

In the 60s here, but VERY overcast all day.

“Never tell people how to do things. Tell them what to do and they will surprise you with their ingenuity.”

Of all the quotes that is my favorite. It applies to all kinds of situations beside war.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Publius...((HUGS))...any relief from the heat?

Enjoying your music festival?

[ConorMacNessa]

Good evening, Brother! Sorry I failed to call this afternoon. I didn't even get up until 1400 hours. Very fatigued today. Woke up Friday morning with a pinched nerve - upper left back. It has partially abated but is still a problem. Pulled muscle lower abdomen is diminished but still painful.

Hope things are going well with you!

Hot, humid — and unchanging. The festival is wonderful. One more week to go.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, yarddog...excellent quote! And you are so right, it applies to all kinds of situations.

[yarddog]

Exactly, of course every now and then you get a guy you just have to show them how or you will get a disaster.

I think the key is knowing “who” to not just tell them to do it, and they are actually few in number.

Aloha, Hawaii...((HUGS))...any good news today? Little wahines visit? Sun?

Rained all day Saturday, and some today. No sun at all.
