1. Opportunity

This I beheld, or dreamed it in a dream: —
There spread a cloud of dust along a plain;
And underneath the cloud, or in it, raged
A furious battle, and men yelled, and swords
Shocked upon swords and shields. A prince’s banner
Wavered, then staggered backward, hemmed by foes.

A craven hung along the battle’s edge,
And thought, “Had I a sword of keener steel —
That blue blade that the king’s son bears, — but this
Blunt thing!” — he snapt and flung it from his hand,
And lowering crept away and left the field.

Then came the king’s son, wounded, sore bestead,
And weaponless, and saw the broken sword,
Hilt-buried in the dry and trodden sand,
And ran and snatched it, and with battle-shout
Lifted afresh, he hewed his enemy down,
And saved a great cause that heroic day.

5. Whoa. That's impressive and, we hope, apropos. Damn, I live close to Philly and didn't even know

about this rally. I wonder how the hell I missed that? I would have been there.

6. Absolutely apropos (read my sig line)

A reminder that we should never abandon the field of battle, nor blame our weapons for defeat.

It is heart and guts that makes the difference.

It is commitment.
