TomStar81 is taking a short wikibreak and will be back on Wikipedia in full force sometime in November or December. Presently, school concerns regarding the fall semester and the upcoming spring semester registration, class selection, and payment processes have compelled Tom to take leave absence. Tom asks that he not be bothered to return to Wikipedia unless his presence on a matter is absolutely needed, and thanks everyone in advance for their patience and understanding on this matter.

The Cost of Freedom is Always High
"For the families of the seven, we cannot bear, as you do, the full impact of this tragedy. But we feel the loss, and we're thinking about you so very much. Your loved ones were daring and brave, and they had that special grace, that special spirit that says, 'Give me a challenge and I'll meet it with joy.' |
Archibald Sinclair, 1st Viscount Thurso (22 October 1890 – 15 June 1970) was a Scottish politician and leader of the Liberal Party. After an education at the Royal Military College, Sandhurst, Sinclair served on the Western Front during the First World War, rising to the rank of Major and working under J. E. B. Seely and Winston Churchill. After the war he worked with Churchill again when the latter was Secretary of State for War and Secretary of State for the Colonies. Sinclair entered the House of Commons as a Liberal MP in 1922, rising to become the party's Chief Whip by 1930. When the Liberal Party joined the National Government of Ramsay MacDonald in 1931, Sinclair was appointed Secretary of State for Scotland, holding the post until his party resigned from the government in 1932. He took over as Liberal Party leader in 1935 after incumbent Herbert Samuel lost his seat in the election. Sinclair returned to government as Secretary of State for Air in 1940, under Churchill's all-party Second World War coalition government. In this role he worked with the Royal Air Force (RAF) to plan the Battle of Britain. Sinclair remained a minister until the end of the coalition in 1945, but then lost his seat in the 1945 general election. He was elevated to the House of Lords in 1952. This portrait of Sinclair was taken by the RAF official photographer during the Second World War.Photograph credit: Royal Air Force official photographer

Dear Madam,
I have been shown in the files of the War Department a
statement of the Adjutant-General of Massachusetts,
that you are the mother of five sons who have died
gloriously on the field of battle.I feel how weak
and fruitless must be any words of mine which should
attempt to beguile you from the grief of a loss so
overwhelming. But I cannot refrain from tendering to
you the consolation that may be found in the thanks of
the Republic they died to save. I pray that our
Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your
bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory
of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must
be yours, to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon
the altar of Freedom.
Yours, very sincerely and respectfully,
Abraham Lincoln
