“Day is done, gone the sun, from the lake, from the hill, from the sky. All is well, safely rest. God is nigh.”
- TAPS ( Union Captain Robert Ellicombs, Harrison’s Landing, Virginia, in 1862 ) & FREEDOM ISN’T FREE 1776-2007!
You can only protect your liberties in this world by protecting the other man’s freedom. You can only be free if I am free. Clarence Darrow
Blessings to you, yours and theirs on this Memorial Day.
