I just finished reading the Splendid and the Vile by Erik Larson.
Excellent read, and I highly recommend it to any lover of history
and Winston Churchill. I am an admitted Anglophile, and a
great lover of our country as well. This book is about the
horrors endured by the British citizens, and Winston
Churchill's steadfast defense of his nation. It is also about the
bond between our two nations and how our continued pursuit
for freedom is shared. Without the strength and courage of our
US troops, we would all be living in a very different world. A
world we would not like, devoid of the freedoms and
opportunities we all enjoy.
Today we thank and honor all the courageous service men and
women both past and present who devote themselves to
preserving our rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness.
THANK YOU!
Love,
Susan and Oliver
