forcebwithu Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 One of the books I'm reading included quotes by Lt. Gen. Chesty Puller. Seems only fitting to lead off a new topic with a couple of his quotes. “We’re surrounded. That simplifies the problem.” “They are in front of us, behind us, and we are flanked on both sides by an enemy that outnumbers us 29:1. They can’t get away now.” 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He then handed me his St Christopher Cross saying "It didn't do him much good did it!" 80s RUC humour at its best ! St Chris was demoted in 1969 by Pope Paul VI along with 92 others. Saint Christopher Among Catholicism’s most popular saints, Christopher was listed as a martyr. Legend had it he carried a child who grew increasingly heavy across a river -- the child was supposed to be carrying the weight of God. But there wasn’t enough historical evidence the man ever existed, so Pope Paul VI dropped him. https://abcnews.go.com/International/saint-saint-kind-demoted/story?id=23477573 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
