no gilly, my hats off to you and your country. A F'n Lone your country bore the brunt of the 3rd Reich's onslaught. politicians with less testicular fortitude would have capitulated to Hitler's conditions and sued for a peaceable solution...like other countries who gave up with out a shot fired. BUT YOUR gallant and honorable country said " I shall not yield!" THAT, my dear friend, SAVED the world. The BoB did not only save England...man, your boys saved FREEDOM! Oh yes it G'damn did!!! Had not your country stood firm against the tides of tyranny and fascism the world would be a different place today. I bow to you and those brave boys who entered the air in those "old blessed crates" ( F' the YAKS and the RUSSIANS, Spits and 'Canes took it in the face when Stalin was eating fine food and posturing for position) who leveled their lances down on the oppressor...against overwhelming odds. Because you decided not...THEY the blessed FEW decided NEVER to surrendered.. brother....never has the entire WORLD owed so GD much to so few honorable and most gallant BOYS. Freedom is not only a word but REALITY for us because of those "boys"...those blessed few..those fathers, grand fathers of us... who gave all so that we may live in peace. God bless them all. Thank you, you most gallant and brave gentlemen. Our lives are richer because of you,
