Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you: 1. Jesus Christ. 2. The American G.I. One died for your soul, the other for your Freedom.

Rest in Peace Pvt. John Phelan, thank you for your service. My thoughts are with your family on this day.

VUK We few, we happy few, we band of brothers; for he to-day that sheds his blood with me shall be my brother; (William Shakespeare Henry V); And to paraphrase......he who stands with me this day shall be my brother.
