1. Good morning, my dear Aristus!
Ah, Perfect!

Two lines from the St. Crispian's Day speech!

Absolutely right on.........that one makes me, a pacifist, want to join!

"We few, we happy few, we band of brothers..." I can still hear Kenneth Branagh saying it with the fabulous music behind.......

And it gives me goosebumps!

Thank you! :pals:

And...thank you for your service to our beloved country! :patriot:
