In fact, I discovered by reading newspapers that these editor/geniuses plainly saw all my strategic defects from the start, yet failed to inform me until it was too late. Accordingly, I'm readily willing to yield my command to these obviously superior intellects, and I'll, in turn, do my best for the cause by writing editorials - after the fact." Robert E. Lee, 1863

Our thoughts and prayers are always with the soliders and families especially during times like these. We are unable to attend this mission. However it does not mean our hearts are not there, because they are. Thank You Sgt. Beardsley for giving the greatest sacrifice of all. Thank you for helping all Americans remain free. Now you are free to Rest in Peace. We (PGR) are here to see to it! Thank you my friend.
With Much Love, Damon and Lee |
