I guess they wanted to see if we had nil our arms and and legs they Hove indeed. The internationals while getting much of their big sound from Echo microphones Aren t limited to the elemental music of Rock n Roll. They vary their program with popu Lar standards latin rhythms including Ossa Nova and a bit of modern Jan plus a touch of choreography and vocal Ising behind Willy.

The apart ment House the Cowlings share with a least a Down other american families. Though the internationals try to pick time when they la cause the least disturbance late afternoon there s no Muf fling the pulsing beat of Franco s Drums or the super resonant twang of three stereophonic electric guitars or the wonderful Walling of july. The sound throbs up through the cell ingot the Cowling s second floor Flat out Ward through Walls a Little thinner than they used to make them and even through the door to the main entry.

I ilk it five thousand seventy six crosses once i was so inspired by just seeing the Silhouette of a Jet interceptor i was guarding on a foggy night that it made me realize Why i was in the service Why i had to do what i was doing and Why would have to sacrifice my life if a situation should arise that made it More t have been so inspired. But what i saw before me did not just inspire me it pained and the Opportunity to stand Mure the Aprl rom military Ceme Tery located in on n dry try and Rainy Day.

And i stood them Ivo Derins what the thought might have been in their mind while they Lay pm the Battlefield hireling and grimacing in pain waiting for the Ecru Vord inevitable. No doubt they hoped that someone would now Steep the Banner from falling that Banner everything they loved and believed in and in the end died Lor that Banner symbolising Man s Frao Dom. The obligation and responsibility i Felt at that time cume from realizing that it was i today Over seventeen years later whom those men had died for and had placed their last Trust and Only life in to continue carrying that Banner never let it fall. How painful it was a Leto when i realized that these 5.076 Crosse were Only a Small percentage of All those erected As a result of keep. Ing the Banner from falling.
