Be it known here forth, that this MAN is welcome at my campfire, and to anything I have ...anytime.
Where ever he has gone to... it is a good place to be.
The measure of a man.
...the light shines in the darkness,
and the darkness has not overcome it. |

I couldn't agree more.
This is a tough one to put into words, I'll let what he's done speak for itself! |

quote: If in some smothering dreams you too could pace
Behind the wagon that we flung him in,
And watch the white eyes writhing in his face,
His hanging face, like a devil's sick of sin;
If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood
Come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs,
Obscene as cancer, bitter as the cud
Of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues,
My friend, you would not tell with such high zest
To children ardent for some desperate glory,
The old Lie; Dulce et Decorum est
Pro patria mori
