".. It is not some arbitrary cycle of history that made the post-War era what it has been. It is American power, and American leadership." President Harry Truman
POTUS Truman had the vision to see, after two catastrophic World Wars, that it was time for America to step up as a pro-active force for good. He understood what would happen without US power and leadership. His bold decisiveness gave our Presidents who followed a template; some applied it better than others. But our 43rd and 44th has chosen to forge a very different path and as his own Sec Def Hagel stated while serving last year, "the world is exploding all over."
We have not forgotten this day. We have, however, forgotten the lesson.
