E julgareis qual é mais excelente,...Se ser do mundo rei, se de tal gente

Independentemente do conceito subjectivo que está por detrás das palavras "dever" e "cidadania", penso que é bom de vez em quando ir buscar inspiração e coragem a pessoas que nos deixaram bons exemplos.
Talvez fosse bom relembrar aqueles que nos deixaram exemplos valorosos.

Há histórias, que não vendem jornais.... Há historias de quem cumpre o seu dever ... ainda bem!

1:1 In the Beginning God created Radar.

1:2 And the Radar was without form, and void; and darkness [was] upon the face of the PPI. And the Spirit of God moved upon the Circuit Diagrams.

1:3 And God said, Let there be a Power Supply: and there was a Power Supply.

1:4 And God saw the Power Supply, that [it was] good: and God divided the Power Supply with an On/Off switch and a Light which was often in darkness.

1:5 And God called the Light “On”, and the darkness he called “Off”. And the ”On/Off” switch and the Light was the first day.

1:6 And God said, Let there be Wiring in the midst of the system, and let there be Dividers to control the potentials.

1:7 And God made the Wiring and the Dividers: and it was so.

1:8 And God caused the potentials to be divided and the wiring to carry current. And the evening and the morning were the second day.

1:9 And God said, Let there be Magnetrons and Klystrons and let Modulators appear.

1:10 And God commissioned the Transmitter: and God saw that [it was] good.

1:11 And God said, Let there be Receivers, the Logarithmic Amplifier, [and] the circuits yielding the Waveforms of every kind upon the earth: and it was so.

1:12 And the Receivers brought forth Signals, [and] Waveforms of every kind, and the Logarithmic Amplifier did not saturate: and God saw that [it was] good.

1:13 And the evening and the morning were the third day.

1:14 And God said, Let there be Targets in the firmament of the heaven day and night; and let them be for Defence, and for Reconnaissance, Attack and for Cargo, and Passengers.

1:15 And let them be illuminated by Radar in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the PPI: and it was so.

1:16 And God made two great Systems; the greater system to give Early Warning, and the lesser system to make the Intercept: [he made] the Navaids also.

1:17 And God set them to shine into the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the PPI,

1:18 And to rule over the day and over the night, and to track the Aircraft in the darkness: and God saw that [it was] good.

1:19 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.

1:20 And God said, Let the Vendors bring forth abundantly the components that make Radar life, and [that which] may illuminate above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.

1:21 And God created great Antennae, and every component that moveth, which the Vendors brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged aircraft after his kind: and God saw that [it was] good.

1:22 And God blessed them, saying, be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the PPI with targets, and let targets multiply on the PPI.

1:23 And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.1:24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, Technicians, and Mechanics, and the Scope Dopes of the earth after his kind: and it was so.

1:25 And God made the Technicians after his kind, and Mechanics after their kind, and every Scope Dope that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that [it was] good.

1:26 And God said, Let us make Officers in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the Technicians and the Mechanics and over all the earth, and over every creeping Scope Dope that creepeth upon the earth.

1:27 So God created Officers in his [own] image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

1:28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue the Other Ranks: and have dominion over the Systems, and over the Aircraft of the air, and over every living thing that moveth around the Station.

1:29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every kind of Radar, which [is] upon the face of all the earth, and every Vendor, in which [is] the fruit of a factory yielding equipment; to you it shall be for meat.

1:30 And to every Technician of the earth, and to every Aircraft of the air, and to every Scope Dope that creepeth upon the earth, wherein [there is] life, [I have given] every kind of system for meat: and it was so.

1:31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, [it was] very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

2:1 Thus the Radar Systems and the Personnel were finished, and all the host of them, but God did not rest......

2:2 And on the seventh day God had to fix the Radar for it had gone faulty.
