A little over 600 years ago today Henry V and 7,000 longbowmen taught the French a lesson in the effectiveness of ranged weaponry.?ÿ Plus we got the phrase "Band of Brothers" out of it as well.?ÿ

Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remember??d;
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers.

?ÿ

Also the anniversary of the Charge of the Light Brigade at the Battle of Balaclava

Half a league, half a league,
Half a league onward,
All in the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.

Henry inspired his much-outnumbered English forces to fight the French through a St Crispin's Day Speech, saying "the fewer men, the greater share of honour".

Hey Wow!?ÿ We're already doing that!?ÿ?ÿ ?ÿ

Not really fighting the French but, we should be ready, if registered ever bids that job. ?ÿ ?????ÿ
