I wanted to take a special moment to thank you for your service to this great nation. I understand that it is your birthday today and while we've never met I feel as if we do share some of the same similarities in our background. Well, if you subtract the gidgets and gadgets we were issued during our time in conflict. I'd say we had it much better than you old timers back in the day. I digress though, Old Breed/New Breed doesn't matter as long as they're shooting in our favor. Anyway, I hope that your birthday brings about blessings and peace with family and friends. I also hope that Dabo Swinney and his boys can deliver a massive shutout this Saturday in Cootlumbia for the both of us. Wouldn't it be nice if we could win 98-0 in Honor of your Birthday? Anyway, this weekend just know that Tiger Fans everywhere will be cheering on the Clemson Tigers along side of you in spirit. Happy Birthday Warrior!
Our country won't go on forever, if we stay soft as we are now. There won't be any America because some foreign soldiery will invade us and take our women and breed a hardier race.
