Arm yourselves, and be ye men of valor, and be in readiness for the conflict for it is better for us to perish in battle than to look upon the outrage of our nation and our altar.
Winston Churchill
Image
A nation that fails to honor its heroes, soon will have no heroes to honor.
Winston Churchill

If you travel the earth, you will find it is largely divided into two classes of people-people who say 'I wonder why such and such is not done and people who say Now who is going to prevent me from doing that thing?
