Where there’s a will, I want to be in it

Winston Churchill

Winston Churchill is the king of quotes.

I like:

“War of the Unknown Warriors”​

"This is no war of chieftains or of princes, of dynasties or national ambition; it is a war of peoples and of causes. There are vast numbers, not only in this island but in every land, who will render faithful service in this war but whose names will never be known, whose deeds will never be recorded. This is a war of the Unknown Warriors; but let all strive without failing in faith or in duty, and the dark curse of Hitler will be lifted from our age.”

It rings very true today. With all the awards and ribbons given, wars are won by those who get no accolades.

There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been.
