St. Crispians Day - Day 14 - First Letter

Today we received Zach's first letter. The form letter. The one where he is allowed to scrawl in our names and then fold and put into an envelope and send to us with his address. (Except Zach scratched in "Send to Mom and Heather, Plz.") We did. Please email us if you would like to get his address. No Cards, no packages, no medicine, no pain-killers, no socks, no underwear, no snacks, no candy. Just letters.

But since it is St. Crispians Day and Zach and I had read this several times I thought I'd put in one of the more unique renditions of this famous Shakespearean speech. And since Zach's in the Marines wouldn't this be an appropriate version? Enjoy:

Atlanta actor and Marine Corps machine gunner Jay Peterson performs the St. Crispian's Day speech from Henry V while disassembling and reassembling an M240B Machine gun twice.




Here is one of the most famous versions of the same speech - this time by Kenneth Brannagh:


"We few, we happy few!"

Semper Fi! Z
