One Hand Clapping � Blog Archive � Address to Gold Star families: "I addressed Gold Star Mothers and their families, along with many Blue Star families, at a luncheon honoring fallen U. S. Marines on Sept. 17, 2005. The luncheon was sponsored by Tennessee Marine Families, a chartered not-for-profit organization of which my wife and I are members.
Many readers will recognize that I modeled about the last half this address on Pericles’ oration at the first funeral of Athens’ fallen of the Peloponnesian War in 431 bc. You will also see an echo of Shakespeare’s “Henry V” (I cited the full quotation here) in a closing paragraph."
