A blast from the past, as it were.

Posted because I honest to God looked at a calendar this morning and thought "March 11, there's something important about March 11, what is it?" and then ran through the mental roster of family and friend birthdays and couldn't come up with anything.


They have called this day the Eleventh of March! And whomsoever of you gets through this day, unless you are shot in the head or somehow slain, you will stand at tiptoe when e'er you hear the name again, and you will get excited at the name March the Eleventh!

We happy few, we few, we band of brothers. Our names will be as like household names. And those who are not here, be they sleeping or doing something else, they will feel themselves... sort of crappy. Because they are not here to... to join the fight, on this day, the Eleventh of March!

HEE. I thought of that speech, too, this morning! (And then I thought of St Crispin's Day, which we could use here at work, but alas, we're several months off for that, and I don't think my team - except ellen_fremedon - would really get the Eleventh of March speech.)
