I remember...

He is not worthy of honeycomb that shuns the hive because the bees have stings.
-Shakespeare

"Our enemies are before us," exclaimed the Spartans at Thermopylae.
"And we are before them." was the cool reply of Leonidas.
"Deliver your arms," came the message from Xerxes.
"Come and take them," was the answer Leonidas sent back.
A persian soldier said: "You will not be able to see the sun for flying javelins and arrows."
"Then we will fight in the shade," replied a Lacedemonian.
(From "Pushing to the Front" by Orison Sweet Marden)

My prayers and thoughts are towards those that have lost loved ones;
and those who are still fighting to keep America and other's safe from terrorists.
All I can really say is that I remember and won't forget.
