It’s a shame TBP doesn’t have a beach nearby or a stable of P-51 fighters and a few B-17’s. Then we could post Winston Churchill’s quotes about never giving up all day! I can fly a P-51 and would volunteer for escort duty when the B-17 does its’ thing!
Keep on keeping on!

There’s a passage I got memorized. Ezekiel 25:17. “The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness, for he is truly his brother’s keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy My brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay My vengeance upon you.”

No one wins when freedom fails
The best men rot in filthy jails
And those who cried appease, appease,
Are hanged by those they tried to please.
