Tribute to Winston Churchill

There is an excellent tribute to Winston Churchill on YouTube.  The tribute is entitled "The Valiant Man."  It focuses on the state funeral of Churchill, but includes snippets from some of his speeches and a montage of photos of his life. 

Set aside a half hour sometime and watch this video, and remember how dangerous the world was when he was made Prime Minister. That era was more incredible than any work of fiction.

If you don't want to click on the link, go to YouTube and search for The Valiant Man by piddflicks (28 minutes).

I found it a moving presentation, as you might.
