Rememberance.

“So in the Libyan fable it is told That once an eagle, stricken with a dart, Said, when he saw the fashion of the shaft, 'With our own feathers, not by others' hands, Are we now smitten.'”
- Aeschylus (525-456 BC)
Today is our day. Remember what has gone by. Prepare yourself for what is to come.
FREEDOM FLIES IN YOUR HEART
LIKE AN EAGLE
Dusty old helmet, rusty old gun,
They sit in the corner and wait -
Two souvenirs of the Second World War
That have withstood the time, and the hate.
Mute witness to a time of much trouble.
Where kill or be killed was the law -
Were these implements used with high honor?
What was the glory they saw?
Many times I've wanted to ask them -
And now that we're here all alone,
Relics all three of a long ago war -
Where has freedom gone?
Freedom flies in your heart like an eagle.
Let it soar with the winds high above
Among the spirits of soldiers now sleeping,
Guard it with care and with love.
I salute my old friends in the corner,
I agree with all they have said -
And if the moment of truth comes tomorrow,
I'll be free, or By God, I'll be dead!

I'm just going to say this. If you hear about a Soldier getting KIA, FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS GOOD DON'T PUT IT OUT ON UNCLASSIFIED MEDIA LIKE FACEBOOK! I just heard about a leak happening about a Soldier in my Task Force. Basically, someone put on Facebook that this Soldier was killed. Now, all it takes is RIP Sgt. Namehere. That's it. You post that before the family gets notified, and the family finds out....come on now. How about we DON'T leak information. How about that. OPSEC, how about we practice it. Sorry for the rant.
