  5. "This was a MAN."

    This is an epitaph I try - every day - to earn for myself.

    In viewing this picture, I realize that this is what I am asking for when I pray "A Rifleman's Prayer":

    "Oh Lord, I would live my life in freedom, peace and happiness, enjoying the simple pleasures of hearth and home. I would die an old, old man in my own bed, preferably of sexual overexertion.

    But if that is not to be, Lord, if monsters such as this should find their way to my little corner of the world on my watch, then help me to sweep those bastards from the ramparts, because doing that is good, and right, and just.

    And if in this I should fall, let me be found atop a pile of brass, behind the wall I made of their corpses."


    Sadly, I find myself thinking on this more and more of late...

    God help us -- and GOD SAVE OUR REPUBLIC!

  6. "This was a MAN."

    Indeed. I hadn't seen the prayer before.
