Credo
"Sign on, young man, and sail with me. The stature of our homeland is no more than the measure of ourselves. Our job is to keep her free. Our will is to keep the torch of freedom burning for all. To this solemn purpose we call on the young, the brave, the strong, and the free. Heed my call, Come to the sea. Come Sail with me." -- John Paul Jones
"Pardon him, Theodotus; he is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature" --George Bernard Shaw, "Caesar and Cleopatra"
"And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music."--Friedrich Nietzsche
"A kind Providence has placed in our breasts a hatred of the unjust and cruel, in order that we may preserve ourselves from cruelty and injustice. They who bear cruelty, are accomplices in it. The pretended gentleness which excludes that charitable rancour, produces an indifference which is half an approbation. They never will love where they ought to love, who do not hate where they ought to hate."--Edmund Burke
“You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours.”--General Sir Charles Napier

Oh goodness. One of those things on there might prove expensive…
And btw, if any of you have something you’d like to donate for auction, you can email campaign@soldiersangels.org. We’re working off eBay with someone who used to be a top seller on eBay, so the auctions should be very effective fundraisers.
Hmmm, alot of submarine warfare in there. Ned Beach or the Gallpoing Ghost? What to do, what to do.
Definitely go for the Beach
Hi, there…just wanted to let everyone know that I am donating a percentage of my book sales – through Veterans’ Day – to Project Valour-IT! Why not donate to this very worthwhile cause and read a great book at the same time? You can read a sample chapter on the “Sneak Peek” tab at http://www.ReportingForDoodie.com. Please help support our wounded soldiers by spreading the word! Thank you!
Ah – I see a Christmas present for my husband. Perfect gift for his reloading barn.
Yes, JL Smith IS donating a percentage of sales. We have been lax in announcing it, but I will be calling her this morning to arrange the details.
