Salute to the Brave.

Top West 50 (#3), and Robert Cooper (#4),

Well quoted, Gentlemen !

Or, as Macaulay wrote a century ago:

"To every man upon this earth
Death cometh soon or late.
And how can man die better
Than facing fearful odds,
For the ashes of his fathers,
And the temples of his Gods."

And Robert Cooper quoted Churchill:

"This.... was their finest hour.”...

For many who took part in those days, it was true of their individual lives, too.

Cheers, both,

Danny42C.
