Great song, Harley Rider.
I find it somewhat ironic that as we, as a nation, stray farther and farther from the Republic we started out as, we seem to value our "warrior class" more and more.
To all of you, such as my father, my brother, and my son, who have ever had to respond to the command of "lock and load", I salute you (we didn't do that too much on a submarine).
Have a Happy Easter.
