You remember every thought and how you felt at that exact moment. I could never escape it, nor would I want too. That happened to me when I met Yvette LaMor at an Orphanage in North Vietnam. I remember that moment so very well... I awoke and looked into the face of the most beautiful girl in all the world. She had long, pure black hair flowing to her ankles, Olive skin and the most incredible emerald green eyes I have ever seen. "My name is Yvette LaMor" she said. "You are safe in this cave". The mother superior gave me her blessing to marry Yvette if we decided too; she also entrusted me to make the right decision for the welfare of Yvette and the other orphans. I made that decision.

Germany, which has been preparing industrially for war for the best part of a decade, is out in front today because she put her heart and soul first into the preparation and then into the employment of the things which she had got ready.
