If you are following Michael Yon’s newest dispatches, he has now posted Men of Valor Part II.

In truth, the British have kept faith with their pledge of partnership, and much more because by overstaying, they jeopardized men, women and mission in order to buy us time and keep the exits covered. America has no truer ally, always there, through bad and worse. Of course, almost none of this mattered to the men of 4 Rifles on May 21, who’d been out more than 13 hours in stifling heat.

This series is shaping up as a reference to the fact that the UK has always been and will remain a strong ally of the United States.

Well done once again!
