“Americans murder with everything — with cars, with knives, with frozen fish — whatever’s at hand, we’ll kill a motherfucker with it, because he needed killing and we’re a nation of go-getters.”

Since we’ve got someone in the UK this week, we said, “Ah, what the heck.”
SERGEANT MAJOR: Don’t stand there gawping like you’ve never seen the Hand of God before! Now, today, we’re going to do marching up and down the square! That is, unless any of you got anything better to do. Well?! Anyone got anything they’d rather be doing than marching up and down the square?! Yes?! Atkinson. What would you… rather be doing, Atkinson?
ATKINSON: Well, to be quite honest, Sarge, I’d… rather be at home with the wife and kids.
SERGEANT MAJOR: Would you, now?!
ATKINSON: Yes, Sarge.
SERGEANT MAJOR: Right! Off you go! Now, everybody else happy with my little plan… of marching up and down the square a bit?
COLES: Sarge!
SERGEANT MAJOR: Yes?!
COLES: I’ve got a book I’d quite like to read.
SERGEANT MAJOR: Right! You go read your book, then! Now! Everybody else… quite content to join in… with my little scheme of marching up and down the square?!
WYCLIF: Sarge?
SERGEANT MAJOR: Yes, Wyclif?! What is it?!
WYCLIF: Well, I’m, uh, learning the piano.
SERGEANT MAJOR: Learning the piano?!
WYCLIF: Yes, Sarge.
SERGEANT MAJOR: And I suppose you want to go and practice, eh? Marching up and down the square not good enough for you, eh?!
WYCLIF: Well,–
SERGEANT MAJOR: Right! Off you go!
WYCLIF: Oh.
SERGEANT MAJOR: Now! What about the rest of you? Rather be at the pictures, I suppose.
SQUAD: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Ooh, yeah. Yeah. Right. Yeah. Right.
SERGEANT MAJOR: All right! Off you go!
SQUAD: Oh. Ooh. Great. That’s great. What a day. I want to see the Merle Oberon picture. Eh hehheh.
SERGEANT MAJOR: Bloody army! I don’t know what it’s coming to. Right! Sergeant Major, marching up and down the square. Left, right, left. Left…
NARRATOR #1: Democracy and humanitarianism have always been trademarks of the British Army…
SERGEANT MAJOR: Rubbish!
NARRATOR #1: Shh! …And have stamped its triumph throughout history, in the furthest-flung corners of the Empire,…

Late last week I received this from a longtime friend and industry member named Angie. It is about her father, Fred. He is a great American, and a true hero. His life’s work doesn’t pivot on just one day and one act. In fact, I don’t think we’ll ever here an inkling of the things he has done. He has a lifetime of doing great things. His daughter thinks so too. She’s very proud of her dad and rightly so. Today is Fathers Day and I can’t think of a more fitting tribute to dads out there than publishing this story about Fred Arooji and how he was recently honored by the SOF community by being awarded the Bull Simons Award. We all strive to be a hero in our kids’ eyes. Here’s a man who is a hero in every sense of the word.
Take a few minutes to read this excerpt from the June, 2013 issue of “Tip of the Spear” to get a small taste of the man that is CW5 Fred Arooji (USA, Ret). And, if you don’t know who COL Arthur ‘Bull” Simons is either, I’ve included a little about him.
