I don't need your thanks, John. I served out of a sense of duty to my
country and not so idiots like you could strut around sticking out your
chest and flabby gut and running your fetid mouth.

"...fetid mouth"?

Was *I* doing all the name-calling and telling others to STFU?

THANK YOU, for your service! I hope it was commendable and service of
which you
can be proud. If so, stick your chest out a little, you deserve it!

You must have my 'flabby gut' mixed up with someone else.

Don't mix them up. You make yourselves look like fool more interested in
boozing it up on every holiday rather than somebody who gives a rats ass
about either veterans or the honored war dead.


Damn Neal, it's nice to see you are still up to a good troll. I see your
decks are awash with catch of the day, but be honest, it was just a tad
heavy-handed and obvious. Wasn't it? Your sabbatical seems to have
diminished your skills ever so slightly, but not to worry, with a little
more practice they will return. You are, after all, the master.

And when the wind in the tree-tops roared,
The soldier asked from the deep dark grave:
"Did the banner flutter then?"
"Not so, my hero," the wind replied.
"The fight is done, but the banner won,
Thy comrades of old have borne it hence,
Have borne it in triumph hence."
Then the soldier spake from the deep dark grave:
"I am content."



Then he heareth the lovers laughing pass,
and the soldier asks once mo
"Are these not the voices of them that love,
That love--and remember me?"
"Not so, my hero," the lovers say,
"We are those that remember not;
For the spring has come and the earth has smiled,
And the dead must be forgot."
Then the soldier spake from the deep dark grave:
"I am content."


A poem quoted by Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. in a Memorial Day speech at
Harvard in 1895 entitled "The Soldier's Faith". (Theodore Roosevelt
admired that 1895 speech so much that as President he nominated Holmes
for the US Supreme Court.) Holmes in the 1895 speech spoke of "part of
the soldier's faith: Having known great things, to be content with
silence." He cited this poem as "a little song sung by a warlike people
on the Danube, which seemed to me fit for a soldier's last word...a
song of the sword in its scabbard, a song of oblivion and peace. A
Soldier has been buried on the battlefield."
