Whats the most uplifting speech you have ever heard,something that made you listen

Anything from Churchill.......that man knew how to inspire a nation.......gives me pride just thinking about it.....

Ive got a mate in 3PARA and he E-mailed me this........

A message to Terry Taliban......

Yeah i heard that one........very good and very true......
I like Churchills......"Dictators are fools who ride around on the backs of tigers....well.... the tigers are getting hungry".......

something like that anyway.....

"Success is never final. Failure is never fatal. It is courage that counts."

Who else but Winston Churchill.

My favorite was by Werner von Braun. when he addressed the issue of his membership of the NSDAP .....
"I was officially demanded to join the National Socialist Party. At this time (1937) I was already technical director of the Army Rocket Center at Peenemünde ... My refusal to join the party would have meant that I would have to abandon the work of my life. Therefore, I decided to join. My membership in the party did not involve any political activities ... in Spring 1940, one SS-Standartenführer (SS Colonel) Müller ... looked me up in my office at Peenemünde and told me that Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler had sent him with the order to urge me to join the SS. I called immediately on my military superior ... Major-General W. Dornberger. He informed me that ... if I wanted to continue our mutual work, I had no alternative but to join"

Just think if he hadn't joined, then America would have had No rocket program and Niel Armstrong would not have walked on the moon!
