If they do not, it is not hard enough.

    REST DAY


    "Words of Wisdom"

    Chief Tecumseh 1768-1813 Shawnee Nation
























    “So live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart. Trouble no one about their religion; respect others in their view, and demand that they respect yours.


    Love your life, perfect your life, beautify all things in your life. Seek to make your life long and its purpose in the service of your people. Prepare a noble death song for the day when you go over the great divide.


    Always give a word or a sign of salute when meeting or passing a friend, even a stranger, when in a lonely place. Show respect to all people and grovel to none.


    When you arise in the morning give thanks for the food and for the joy of living. If you see no reason for giving thanks, the fault lies only in yourself.


    Abuse no one and no thing, for abuse turns the wise ones to fools,and robs the spirit of its vision.


    When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way.



    Sing your death song and die like a hero going home."

    69th Anniversary of OPERATION OVERLORD







    The Normandy Invasion, also known as (D-Day), was the largest combined airborne assault and amphibious landing in World War II by the Allied Forces. It commenced on Tuesday, 6 June 1944 beginning at 6:30 AM. The operation was meant to be the beginning of the end to the war by taking the fight to the heart Nazi controlled Europe and forcing their unconditional surrender.
