"We are not retreating - we are advancing in another direction." — General Douglas MacArthur

"On 22 December 1944, during the Battle of the Bulge in World War II, Anthony Clement McAuliffe (1898-1975) was acting commander of the 101st Airborne Division in charge of the defense of Bastogne, Belgium. The advancing German forces called on his garrison to surrender. The Americans were surrounded. Instead, Anthony McAuliffe wrote:


"To the German Commander: NUTS!,
The American Commander." Bastogne was successfully held by the Americans.


Americans never quit.
— General Douglas Macarthur (1880 - 1964)

"Yesterday, December 7, 1941 - a date which will live in infamy - The United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan...As Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy, I have directed that all measures be taken for our defense...With confidence in our armed forces - with the unbounded determination of our people - we will gain the inevitable triumph - so help us God."

"Sure, we want to go home. We want this war over with. The quickest way to get it over with is to go get the bastards who started it. The quicker they are whipped, the quicker we can go home. The shortest way home is through Berlin and Tokyo. And when we get to Berlin, I am personally going to shoot that paper hanging son-of-a-bitch Hitler. Just like I'd shoot a snake!"
General George S. Patton - (addressing to his troops before Operation Overlord) - 5th June 1944

Deep and meanigful but oh so truely reflective of life!!!

In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.
(Martin Luther King Jr)


***t happens and some of it is often beyond your control, but True Friends are oh so rare and precious in today's society!!! Hence and as such, they need to be cherrished and valued like gold.


Which leads into another truism:

An eye for eye only ends up making the whole world blind.
(Mohandas Gandhi)


Worthy of Consideration!!!
