“Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties, and so bear ourselves, that if the British Empire and its Commonwealth last for a thousand years, men will still say, “This was their finest hour.”

I’m well into my fifties now and I STILL never read that line without chills going down my back. There is one more paragraph with the same power:

“We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender…”

May God yet again be with us that we may be able to understand and successfully overcome this resurgence of the old evil. I don’t know who will be our Churchill but I have faith there will be one because the cause for which we stand has too many good men supporting it for there to not arise a true champion.

As for me, I’m ready to work, and if need be, fight to stop those who are so anxious to destroy this country. I’m just waiting for our Lexington.
