Living in the Present
“One day at a time,
This is enough.
Do not look back and grieve over the past.
For it is gone. . .
And do not be troubled about the future.
For it has not yet come.
Live in the present, and make it so beautiful.
That it will be worth remembering.”

Horse Soldiers
Horse Soldiers: The Extraordinary Story of a Band of US Soldiers Who Rode to Victory in Afghanistan by Doug Stanton
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I couldn’t put this book down, the author presents a great understanding of “Why we fight now…” and how the US Army Special Forces is so great at what they do.
Thank you to all who gave the ultimate sacrifice and those who continue to give all they do.
This book is a MUST READ!
‘Tis a shame that Amb Bremmer, didn’t let them do their job in Iraq. We’d be out of there long ago.

July
A Moon-flooded prairie; a straying
Of light-hearted lovers; a baying
Of far-away watch-dogs; a dreaming
Of brown-fisted farmers; a gleaming
Of fire-flies eddying nigh,—
And that is July!
–James N. Matthews (1852–1910)

Happy Birthday US Army Signal Corps
It’s 21 JUN – the Summer Solstice, the most daylight today - more importantly it’s time to celebrate. This year the US Army Signal Corps celebrates its Sesquicentennial: A hundred and fifty years has passed since Congress had authorized the addition of a signal officer to the Army Staff on 21 June 1860.

Waterloo
The Battle of Waterloo, which occurred on June 18, 1815, has given its name to the very notion of final defeat.
It ended Napoleon Bonaparte’s harassement of the European continent.
