“Advance Britannia!”
How sad that in a generation, Britain has sunk so low, now bowing in dhimmitude to their mooselimb overlords.

Never give in--never, never, never, never, in nothing great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.
Sir Winston Churchill, Speech, 1941, Harrow School

“Takes more than combat gear to make a man
Takes more than a license for a gun
Confront your enemies, avoid them when you can
A gentleman will walk but never run”

Oh how we need more of his ilk!

Happy V.E. Day!!!

My father was under air attack in the Western Pacific when they heard the news. He said that he looked at one of his shipmates and of his two siblings in the ETO, “Well at least two of Mama’s boys are going to make it home!” I heard this story from that same shipmate at a reunion.
