Happy Birthday Ma'am



She was 21 at the time and swore to serve her people. She is 94 now and has upheld and lived by that oath. Your Highness, happy birthday.

God Save The Queen.

In the world of queens and kings and monarchs in general, she stands apart as possibly the greatest.

Happy Birthday and God bless to the Queen.

Compare the Queen at 21 to the average 21 yo today. No, on second thought, don't - the comparison is staggering.

Happy Birthday, Queen Elizabeth.

Yes, an exceptional individual. God Bless her. Thanks for the post. I'm not one much for "Royalty" but she is a standout.

She also served during WWII. Don't know enough of the details to comment about that respectfully, but that still gets my respect.

Please give us more of these people, we need them.

Imagine the Queen replaced by Price Charles who dreams of being a tampon.....

Indeed, congratulations your majesty.

On another topic: I sent you an email.

God Save the Queen!

HM is made of stern stuff. Her father George VI was the last British Monarch to see action at the Battle of Jutland in 1916. He served as a Turret Officer for 'A' Turret on HMS Collingwood, for which he was mentioned in dispatches.

The Queen's husband, Prince Phillip, also had a distinguished Naval career and saw action as a sub-Lieutenant at the battle of Crete and was mentioned in dispatches serving on HMS Valiant at the battle of Matapan in 1941. He later served in the Pacific.

LL, I know you do not say that lightly and I agree. Remarkable, the Old England and a better one to boot.

LSP said...

Linda, YES x 2!

LSP said...

Adrienne, I was thinking EXACTLY the same thing. Staggering's the word. We've devolved. Hugely.

LSP said...

Kid, she's remarkable and made of stern stuff, like Philip.

And hey, I know we're all '76 patriots here but... GOD SAVE THE QUEEN.

LSP said...

N -- thanks, stand by! Just getting back to the wretched computer after a day of telephone...

LSP said...

F*cking disgrace.

The Lady packs the gear.

Give 'em Hell, Liz.

She was a truck driver and mechanic in the Big One. Didn't go overseas, but was combat trained. There are pics of her inspecting the latest firepower and she looks like she knows what she's doing.

Don't make 'em like that no more.

Bob said...

Thanks for the details edutcher. Yea, agree.

LSP said...

edutcher, she's made of stern stuff and a gentlewoman.

LSP said...

Kid -- I'm afraid she's pretty much the last of her kind. Though I hope I'm wrong. And think, when she made that 21st birthday speech, the Empire she was about to inherit was about to collapse. There's room for thought in therein.

Bob said...

LSP, tough life breeds focus, easy life breeds nonsense. Same as it ever was eh?
