Real World Address
Only by Fire is Fascism Finished
Year upon year in Earth’s darker forests,
Heaped at the foot of the trees,
Dry drifts of wood rot and leaf fall increase
Which sunlight shall never seize.
The vampire by sunlight or stake.
The wolfman by silver in bone.
The demon by bell, book, and pentagram.
The fascist by fire alone.
The ash that descends in the September skies
Where the leapers swam down the stones?
Best answered by bombs from mid-heaven at prayer
With that fire which hollows the bones.
The vampire by sunlight or stake.
The wolfman by silver in bone.
The demon by bell, book, and pentagram.
The fascist by fire alone.
If their god decrees war, God’s war shall prevail.
His lessons are seared in His stone.
No dreams shall defer, nor wishes erase,
The answers that burn in the bone.
The vampire by sunlight or stake.
The wolfman by silver in bone.
The demon by bell, book, and pentagram.
The fascist by fire alone.
Only by Fire is Fascism Finished.
This Sin is demanded that Your Line may Live.
Only through Fire is Freedom Reborn.
Each generation pulls the Sword from the Stone.

Showed this one to my wife last year. She teared up.
This is a fine generation of young men and women we have coming out of the military right now. Dang if I don’t want one of those t-shirts, too!
“Families Are Forever”
If only….
As an 11 y/o, he swore to kill the bastards of 9/11.
I told him it would all be over before he was needed.
I knew I was wrong.
In 2008, he went to our Corps. And kicked the Corps ass.
He is now a Staff Sgt in our Corps. Aiming cannon(s) at bad-guys somewhere in the Middle East.
In speaking with him, let me just say that he has been VERY happy and VERY successful with his chosen profession. (Not to mention very accurate.)
