[Elfsea] A TOAST

[Wilkerson, Glen D]

> This weekend many toasts will be made to the grace of Her Majesty, and
> to the skill and honor of her new Champion.  I would have joined in
> them if mundane constraints did not keep me at home this weekend.  I
> also would have desired to make the following toast in honor of the
> other event we remember this weekend, but since I cannot, I share it
> with you all here...
> 
> TO THOSE WHO RUN IN TO BURNING BUILDINGS;
> 
> TO THOSE WHO PATROL THE NIGHT, WHOSE CREDO IS "TO PROTECT AND SERVE;"
> 
> TO THOSE WHO SEARCH FOR THE LOST, GIVE AID TO THE WOUNDED, AND COMFORT
> TO THE DYING;
> 
> TO THOSE WHO STOOD FORWARD AND FOUGHT, AND FELL IN A PENNSYLVANIA FARM
> FIELD, WHO WORE NO UNIFORM,
> BUT WHOSE COURAGE WAS NO LESS THAN THOSE WHO DO;
> 
> AND TO THOSE IN UNIFORM WHO CARRY THE FIGHT BACK TO THE HEART OF THE
> ENEMY;
> 
> TO THE HEROES.
> 
> And to all of you who will make it to Queen's Champion - travel safely
> and fight well.
> 
> Don Alaric
