In the thread about "Where are our members" the other day(maybe yesterday) Marion mentioned Winston Churchill in a reply. Every time I hear his name I think about his "But If We Fail" speech, which to me is the most inspirational and powerful speech (that I'm aware of) given by any world leader during WWII, and perhaps any war. Do you know the one I'm talking about? He speaks of the world "sinking into the abyss " if Britain (who stood alone at the time) failed to stop Hitler. I guess what is so great about this speech is that it got right down to the urgency of the issue and left no doubt about what failure would mean...and this meant the USA too.
