“They fight not for the lust of conquest.  They fight to end conquest.  They fight to liberate.”   —   President Franklin D. Roosevelt on D-Day

(Our troops: the soldiers, sailors and airmen, are generally men and women of honor.  But those who commit them to battle are often a different story.  Also remembering General Omar N. Bradley, who commanded the First United States Army, during the invasion of Normandy.  And author of today’s Celebrity Cipher.  Yes, I do both!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

“A nation does not have to be cruel to be tough.”   —   Franklin Delano Roosevelt

(Tell that to the millions of “Native Americans”, African American/slaves, Japanese – during WWII, Germans – during WWI and WWII, and Latin American aliens currently in internment camps.  We’re so “tough”, but we’ve forgotten that “The Only thing we have to Fear is Fear itself!  Maybe, we should fear hypocrisy?  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

“The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today.”   —   Franklin D. Roosevelt

(You might say that a pithier version of this quote was Barack Obama’s:  “Yes, we can!”  But, seeing this day’s quote author gives me a great idea for a good Before and After “Wheel of Fortune” puzzle.  And, this posting finally brings me up to date!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

“Forests are the lungs of our land, purifying the air and giving fresh strength to our people.”   —   Franklin D. Roosevelt
