Prost! Der Tod ist ihm zum Schlaf geworden,
aus dem er zu neuem Leben erwacht.

A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.

It has been a year since we lost Colonel Moroney.
I think of him frequently and enjoy it when one of his older threads or posts pops back up again. He had a lot of wisdom to share.
RIP, Boss. Hope you have saved us a place on the other side.

Col. Moroney was a living library. And, one of the F.O.G. that I could associate with. You're right he is missed.

Colonel Moroney passed a year ago today. I also think of him often and sorely miss him. Few individuals on this planet have had more of an impact on me than Colonel Moroney. It was an honor to have known you Sir.

RIP Colonel Moroney. I still read his guidance on this board and from his PMs, and I can still hear him telling me to enjoy time with my boys every chance I got.
For someone whom I never met face-to-face, he sure has made a huge impact on my life. I still miss him very much.

Colonel Moroney:
Thank you for your wisdom and insights. Perhaps, if you are so inclined, I can meet you on the other side.

Miss our posts.......  I never had the privilege to meet you personally but our hockey interests made our posts humorous and at times pretty funny since we both are from the old school.....  Because I was a defense men always remember I've got your back covered.....
