"Kipling's 'Tommy'"

Yes indeed, Bob, it remains eternally true.
I always loved this poem...one of the best poems of all times. Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair summed it up when he was asked in Parliament why he liked the Americans so much. He ended his beautiful response with…” Only two non-British subjects ever gave their lives for us. Jesus Christ, who gave up his mortal life to save our immortal souls and The American GI who gave up his life to save our freedom.”
