http://www.military-quotes.com/Churchill.htm
Quote:
"Never in the face of human conflict has so much been owed by so many to so few."
- Winston Churchill


"Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few."
- Prime Minister Winston Churchill (about the Royal Air Force)
(both quotations are correct, but said at different occasions)


Never in the face of vitriolic ignorance and hostility has so much been owed by so many to so few.

It is sad that so many have no idea what they have been saved from.

Without the efforts, blood, sweat, and tears of the Swift Vets and POWs, FOR TRUTH there would be no victory! There IS a God!

What a perfect quote to exemplify what the Swifties have accomplished!
What if Admiral Hoffman and John O'Neill had sat around moaning that
they were "only" two men and what could they do to stop John Kerry
and the MSM? How different this day would have been for all of us!

Another Churchillism for this morning.
This is not the beginning of the end. But I believe it is the end of the beginning. Back to work, with hangovers Very Happy , tomorrow.

Add Hal's St. Crispin's Day speech and Vince Lombardi's "Winners" and William Wallace (or Mel's) "Freedom." Overwhelmed with pride. Thank you, Vietnam heroes! May you take your rightful place in history at last.
