Haze Gray & Underway.....
This Sums up a lot of things: "Fast is fine but accuracy is final. You must learn to be slow in a hurry!" W.E., former Angelino

Quote....
This royal throne of kings, this sceptered isle,
This earth of majesty, this seat of Mars,
This other eden, demi-paradise,
This fortress built by nature for herself
Against infection and the hand of war,
This happy breed of men, this little world,
This prescious stone set in the silver sea,
Which serves it in the office of a wall
Or as a moat defensive to a house,
Against the envy of less happier lands,
This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England...
Quote....
"Its always better where the Tories are...." Baroness Thatcher
"Remember, remember the fifth of November.
Gunpowder, Treason and Plot.
I see no reason why Gunpowder Treason
Should ever be forgot."
God save our gracious Queen; Long live our noble Queen; God
save the Queen!
Send her victorious; Happy and glorious; Long to reign over us; God save the Queen!
O Lord our God arise; Scatter her enemies; And make them
fall;
Confound their politics; Frustrate their knavish tricks; On Thee our hopes we fix; God
save us all!
Thy choicest gifts in store; On her be pleased to pour; Long may she reign;
May she defend our laws; And ever give us cause; To sing with heart and voice; God save
the Queen!
Not in this land alone; But be God's mercies known; From
shore to shore!
Lord make the nations see; That men should brothers be; And form one family; The wide
world over.
From every latent foe; From the assassins blow; God save the Queen!
O'er her thine arm extend; For Britain's sake defend; Our mother, prince, and friend; God
save the Queen!
Lord grant that Marshal Wade; May by thy mighty aid; Victory bring;
May he sedition hush; And like a torrent rush; Rebellious Scots to crush; God save the
King!
My Rifle: The Creed of a US Marine
by Major General William H. Rupertus (USMC, Ret.)
This is my rifle. There are many like it, but
this one is mine.
My rifle is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must
master my life.
My rifle, without me, is useless. Without my rifle, I am useless. I must
fire my rifle true. I must shoot straighter than my enemy who is trying to kill me. I must
shoot him before he shoots me. I will...
My rifle and myself know that what counts in this war is not the rounds
we fire, the noise of our burst, nor the smoke we make. We know that it is the hits that
count. We will hit...
My rifle is human, even as I, because it is my life. Thus, I will learn
it as a brother. I will learn its weaknesses, its strength, its parts, its accessories,
its sights and its barrel. I will ever guard it against the ravages of weather and damage
as I will ever guard my legs, my arms, my eyes and my heart against damage. I will keep my
rifle clean and ready. We will become part of each other. We will...
Before God, I swear this creed. My rifle and myself are the defenders of
my country. We are the masters of our enemy. We are the saviors of my life.
So be it, until victory is America's and there is no enemy, but peace!
Poem
I never saw a wild thing
sorry for itself.
A small bird will drop frozen dead from a bough
without ever having felt sorry for itself. ¿
D.H Lawrence
Twelve O'Clock High Dialogue:
Gen. Savage - "You liked Keith Davenport, a lot I
mean."
Maj. Stovall - "Yes Sir, I thought he was one of the
finest men I ever knew."
Gen. Savage - "Same way the boys felt, I'm sure.
Loyalty is a fine thing. Well. Thanks for the coffee major."
Maj. Stovall - "General Savage, I'd like to tell you
something else, I think. I'm a lawyer by trade. I think I'm a good one. And when a good
lawyer takes on a client he does it because he believes in the client's case, and that's
all that matters. When I came over to England, I took on my biggest client. That client is the 918th Bomb Group. -- I
want to see my client win its case. Does that answer what you had in mind?"
Gen. Savage - "On the button."
Maj. Stovall - "What did you have in mind,
exactly?"
Gen. Savage - "I need time, time before those
transfers go through."
Maj. Stovall - "Um Hum, How much time?"
Gen. Savage - "As much time as we can get. 10 days
anyway."
Maj. Stovall - "Well, it will take those squadron
adjutants two days to draw up all those requests; And, lets see; I believe in
thorough methodical work, everything in order; I've got a good deal of stuff on my desk
here, so, it might be three days before I can get around to them."
Gen. Savage - "Thats five."
Maj. Stovall - "It'll take a couple of days to check
them, that makes seven; Then those squadron adjutants are pretty sloppy sometimes, and I
certaintly don't want this group criticized for sloppy paper work, do you general?"
Gen. Savage - "couldn't permit it."
Maj. Stovall - "So my guess is that every one of those
requests may have to go back to the squadron adjutant to be done over. By the time I
re-check them, It will be ten days anyway before they can be ready for signature."
Gen. Savage - "What a way to run an outfit. You
red tape adjutants are all alike."
Maj. Stovall - "That's right sir."
"But Harvey, there could be trouble in this."
Maj. Stovall - "I don't think so sir, I've never
heard of the jury convicting the lawyer."
We must remember that:
It is the Marine, not the reporter, that has given us
Freedom of the Press.
It is the Marine, not the poet, who has given us Freedom
of Speech.
It is the Marine, not the campus organizer, who has given
us the right to demonstrate.
It is the Marine, who salutes the flag, who serves beneath
the flag, and whose coffin is draped by the flag, who allows the protester to
burn our flag."
"Captain, it is I, Ensign
Pulver and I just threw your stinking palm tree overboard"
"Now what's all this crud about -- No movie tonight--?

Slade Deville CutterBarry Goldwater I sometimes remember, that during the Presidential Campaign in summer of 1964, as an 11 year old boy living in Macon, GA, I had the opportunity to hear Goldwater's speech and shake his hand twice. We had just moved to 3300 Placid Place, within a mile or two walking distance to Westgate Mall. I'd heard that the campaign was coming to Westgate, and excited at the prospect of seeing my first campaign event, a hastily ran and walked from my new home (we had just moved to that location during March 1963) to the front of Westgate Mall. I managed to sit about 20 feet from the speaking stand and listened intently to the speech. As only of the very few very young people there I caught the eye of Mrs. Goldwater and she smiled back at me several times. I shook Goldwater's hand once after the speech, and then again in the motorcade as it passed along Pio Nono Avenue in front of Macon Mall.
