We NEED to remember it, so we don't repeat it.

I have decided some time ago I will be attending the 100th aniversary rememberance for D day, to honour my father's part in that. That's if I haven't fallen off my perch, I will be 81 then.

These men died.. 20,000 in the FIRST hour. 60,000 by the end of the first day so that we would not be subjected to foreign rule from europe...

How do you suppose THEY would have voted.....

[And to think that some people would give it all away, these men must be turning in their graves...]

john...

 

[Essex1]

Please let's leave politics to one side. 

 

[apprentice87]

Ok, but the fact remains...

john..

 

[Essex1]

Wow. Descoobed for requesting to leave politics to one side when paying respect to the thousands that died.

We should NEVER forget the loss of any lives lost in ANY conflict.

i have relatives who lost their lives in WW1 and WW2 and having updated the family trees the impact is scary.

Suicide In The Trenches

I knew a simple soldier boy

Who grinned at life in empty joy,

Slept soundly through the lonesome dark,

And whistled early with the lark.

In winter trenches, cowed and glum,

With crumps and lice and lack of rum,

He put a bullet through his brain.

No one spoke of him again.

You smug-faced crowds with kindling eye

Who cheer when soldier lads march by,

Sneak home and pray you'll never know

The hell where youth and laughter go.
