Hold your ground! Hold your ground!
Sons of Gondor, of Rohan, my brothers!
I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me.
A day may come when the courage of Men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day.
An hour of wolves and shattered shields when the Age of Men comes crashing down, but it is not this day!
This day we fight!
By all that you hold dear on this good earth, I bid you stand, Men of the West!
The words of Aragorn in the Return of the King from
The Lord of the Rings before the final battle
Recently Jenny and Michael were reminded of these words and we know that we are all going to be asked to stand together soon in the face of things that we won't like, but in order to endure them we shall all have to stand together – we must be ready and we must be strong together.
