"As courage and intelligence are the two qualities best worth a good mans cultivation,so it is the first part of intelligance to recognise our precarious estate in life,and the first part of courage to be not at all abashed before the fact"

Robert Louis Stevenson 1881.

I have been watching this on Skynews today,

Those old boys still have plenty of grit left in them thats for sure. I hope im that spry when i hit 80.

We should always remember those who gave so much that we who have followed can live in freedom.

Ahmen to that.

Quite right to honor all those who served in that campaign.

I most awed by the heroics of the British Paratroopers in Arnhem. Even when all was lost, they maintained their honor and their dignity.

Three Cheers for all.
