(Very Much Off-Topic)

Today is the eightieth anniversary of Battle of Britain Day. Eighty years ago, democracy around the world was under attack, dictatorships were ascendant, and in many countries freedom had been entirely crushed.

In these times, when we are imperiled both physically and morally, let us remember and honor the few then and the few now. “Let us therefore brace ourselves to the challenge, and so bear ourselves,” that whatever may come, this will be our finest hour.
