"It appears we have appointed our worst generals to command forces,
and our most gifted and brilliant to edit newspapers! 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."

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,
