RE: 11 - 11 - Stryker - 11-12-2010 Talking of quotes... I read this one the other day: "You can no more win a War - than you can win an Earthquake" My boss arranged a meeting for 11am today. I'm glad to say, most people were at least 2 minutes late :) RE: 11 - 11 - Otto von Blotto - 11-12-2010 ode of remembrance "They went with songs to the battle, they were young. Straight of limb, true of eyes, steady and aglow. They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted, They fell with their faces to the foe. They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning, We will remember them." For The Fallen, Laurence Binyon's 1914 "Lest we forget."
