Above all, we must realize that no arsenal, or no weapon in the arsenals of the world, is so formidable as the will and moral courage of free men and women. It is a weapon our adversaries in today's world do not have.

    Ok, here are the vitals: * Born in NC, raised a Nebraskan and now a Virginian by dint of marriage, taxes and tution(s) paid/paying (and you thought it was just death and taxes that were universal constants...) *Blessed with marriage to the same wonderful (and exceptionally tolerant)woman for 24 years w/three great kids (see tuition ref above) *Graduated from The Citadel, Naval Postgrad School and Naval War College * Retired as an O-6 after serving twenty-six years in the finest Navy in the world: * Naval Flight Officer & Squadron CO (E-2C Hawkeye - 3500+ hours and 551 traps) * CVN navigator * Multiple Joint penance duties in DC and and elsewhere (slow learner) * Now flying a desk but doing what I can to still help (БУДЕТ наукой ракеты!)
