"Virtue or morality is a necessary spring of popular government."
"Our defense is in the preservation of the spirit which prizes liberty as a heritage of all men, in all lands, everywhere."
"Confidence... thrives on honesty, on honor, on the sacredness of obligations, on faithful protection and on unselfish performance. Without them it cannot live."
"Ask not what your country can do for you -- ask what you can do for your country"
“Look at that face! Would anyone vote for that? Can you imagine that, the face of our next president?!"

Past Lives
War made for odd couples. To Private Jim Mclellan, Sepp seemed a good man; better at least than some of the monsters he heard stories of deeper into the Reich. Real monsters. This Sepp almost reminded Jim of his uncle; the one from Wisconsin he met a few times at Weddings.

Congratulations on the Honourable Mention… cleverly done using quotes!
A shocking revelation for this acrostic, but well wrote Matthew!! Congrats on honourable mention in the literal life (big picture) category for DK's challenge!! 🎉
Impressively done, Matthew! Aptly chosen title too
Hard-hitting and extremely poignant!! It’s not great to feel like we’re falling and failing—but at least we can see that we are.
Well-wrought! The degradation of a Republic is an ugly thing to behold, especially from the inside.
Fantastic work, and great commentary.
But at least we're getting a cool plane out of it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Lord knows BOEING could never make something like that. No, we'll just give them something easy like the F-47
Oh how far we’ve come - or fallen. I’m not that great with directions. Great job!
Clever and poignant. Well written Matthew
haha, sir, this is gold. I like that you took quotes and formed a very confused and modern view on government. Also, that you take the stand of distancing yourself from any of it being considered commentary - good move ha!
