Remembrance & Thought
On this Memorial Day weekend - I leave you with two quotes to think about:
“We sleep safely in our beds because rough men stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who would do us harm.” “(attributed to George Orwell)
And…”To announce that there must be no criticism of the President…is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.” - Theodore Roosevelt

I have a 3-part podcast interview on my blog with one our “rough men” - my friend Eric. He is a Marine helicopter pilot, recently returned from Iraq. I stood in for him at the birth of his baby last January - a precious moment he missed. Though I didn’t want to see him in Iraq, he said, “We’d rather be there trying to help than just doing exercises somewhere.”
