8. "This story shall the good man teach his son......."
Edited on Wed Aug-26-09 01:20 AM by Clio the Leo
This story shall the good man teach his son;
And Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remember'd;
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition:
And gentlemen in England now a-bed
Shall think themselves accursed they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.




let's roll!

12. Bobby was given a plaque ........
Edited on Wed Aug-26-09 01:47 AM by Clio the Leo
..... by those in his office, in his younger days, when he was going after Hoffa and the like, that quoted that line from Shakespear, "we few, we happy few, we band of brothers."

And so I've never been able to hear that line without thinking of....



... but now the entire passage takes on a whole new meaning.

"And gentlemen ... now a-bed
shall think themselves accursed they were not here!
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day."

Indeed!!!

Fire 'em up Uncle Teddy!!!!
