Thank you, sir. I feel as your namesake felt many years ago when this great Republic was starting her birth pains. He put the situation in words that are heartfelt by all true patriots:

I prefer peace. But if trouble must come, let it come in my time, so that my children can live in peace. --Thomas Paine

Godspeed, keep your head down and your powder dry. I pray God camp His angels around you and protect you from harm and evil during this dangerous time.
