"Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more;
Or close the wall up with our English dead!
In peace there's nothingso becomes a man
As modest stillness and humility:
But when the blast of war blows in our ears,
Then imitate the action of the tiger;
Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood,
Disguise fair nature with hard-favored rage;
Then lend the eye a terrible aspect."

William Shakespeare

View the details of this row. September 11th Flash Tribute
Flash tribute composed by a NYC resident following the 9/11 attacks. It is a large file (7+ MB) but if you have never seen it, you should... very, very moving. We must never forget the pain and sorrow so many felt that day. So many "common" people showed us that heroes are not a thing of the past, but just the opposite, that they can exist in all of us...

Send a special message to our men and women in the military defending American freedom worldwide.
In 1967, Sgt. Billy Thompson wrote Abigail Van Buren asking for a Christmas present for our servicemembers -- "Just a letter from home," American citizens have been sending their best wishes to the troops every holiday season. "Operation Dear Abby," has brought joy to hundreds of thousands of U.S. military personnel deployed away from home and around the world.
Concerns about regular mail delivery have prompted the military to suspend the year's letter-writing campaign...
However, Dear Abby, the U.S. Department of Defense, and the U.S. Department of the Navy's LifeLines2000 Services Network in association with SPAWAR SCC (National Capital Region) is providing this private and secure online resource that will allow you to send a Sailor, Marine, Soldier, Airman, or Coast Guardsman a holiday greeting or message of support.
