"THE WRATH OF THE AWAKENED SAXON"
By: RUDYARD KIPLING
It was not part of their blood.
It was not part of their blood.
It came to them very late,
With long arrears to make good,
When the Saxon began to hate.
With long arrears to make good,
When the Saxon began to hate.
They were not easily moved.
They were icy - - - willing to wait
Till every count should be proved,
Ere the Saxon began to hate.
Their voices were even and low.
Till every count should be proved,
Ere the Saxon began to hate.
Their voices were even and low.
Their eyes were level and straight.
There was neither sign nor show
When the Saxon began to hate.
It was not preached to the crowd.
It was not taught by the state.
No man spoke it aloud
When the Saxon began to hate.
It was not suddenly bred.
It will not swiftly abate.
Through the chilled years ahead,
When Time shall count from the date
That the Saxon began to hate.
There was neither sign nor show
When the Saxon began to hate.
It was not preached to the crowd.
It was not taught by the state.
No man spoke it aloud
When the Saxon began to hate.
It was not suddenly bred.
It will not swiftly abate.
Through the chilled years ahead,
When Time shall count from the date
That the Saxon began to hate.

ATTENTION: COLD WAR VETERANS ! ! !
*********************************************************** *********************************************************** Comrades in Arms: Here in our own dearly beloved United States of America, the First Day in the month of May shall be a National Day of Remembrance for the forgotten veterans of the Cold War, with an annual officially scheduled Memorial Service to be held in Arlington National Cemetery. While investigating some proposed Congressional legislation on the Internet, I accidentally stumbled across H.R. 1968: COLD WAR SERVICE MEDAL ACT OF 2011. I had always thought that the National Defense Service Medal was awarded for service during the Cold War, but it turns out that I was wrong.
As for me, I have already received my COLD WAR RECOGNITION CERTIFICATE (I spent a year in Germany before going to the old Republic of Viet Nam), but I reckon another medal would just be icing on the cake.
IF and when the award of the Cold War Victory Medal is ever approved for all other veterans, it will be worn after the lowest ranking United States military award, but before any foreign awards. The Cold War Victory Medal is recognized and accepted by the Veterans of Foreign Wars, the American Legion, AMVETS, the Reserve Officers Association, and the Combat Infantrymen's Association. I already sent a message to the Honorable Steven M. Palazzo, the Republican Congressman representing the Fourth District in Mississippi, urging him to vote in favor of H.R. 1968. You might wish to contact your own Congressman and express your opinion regarding this matter. As I wonder and marvel about the possible reasons why our Department of Defense hasn't officially approved awarding the Cold War Victory Medal to all of the military veterans who served honorably throughout all those many long, rather strenuously terrifying tense years of that global thermonuclear Mexican standoff, it occurs to me that the issue is purely political, primarily concerning international diplomatic relations with the former Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (i.e., the "U.S.S.R.", or in Russian, "C.C.C.P."), which the United States of America may be somewhat reluctant to embarrass by declaring that our side defeated Russia and won a "victory". Also, now that we American citizens are currently forced to endure life in a genuine totalitarian police state which continues to ignore both, our divinely inspired Constitution of the United States of America, and the unalienable rights of the individual, we really have to question WHO really did win the Cold War?

Thank you.
