"Your mind is working best when you're being paranoid. You explore every avenue and possibility of your situation at high speed with total clarity." Banksy

"Disobedience is the True Foundation of Liberty". Henry David Thoreau

“It is not to diffuse you that you were born of your mother and father, it is to identify you. It is not that you should be undecided, but that you should be decided,

"Destiny is that which we are drawn towards, and Fate is that which we run into" Wyatt Earp

Dedicated to my friend Jimmy.

He is the hero; he is everything. He must be a complete man and a common man and yet an unusual man. He must be, to use a rather weathered phrase, a man of honor—by instinct, by inevitability, without thought of it, and certainly without saying it. He must be the best man in his world and a good enough man for any world." Raymond Chandler

"A soldier surrounded by enemies...needs to combine a strong desire for living with a strange carelessness about dying...he must desire life like water and yet drink death like wine." G.K. Chesterton

We all get stuck in Lodi every now and again, but the Hero perseveres. Enjoy this tribute video to three Tom Cruise movie series; Top Gun, MI, & Jack Reacher and a special thanks to Tom Cruise for always portraying American military service with the pride and respect it deserves.
