I will be leaving this up all week as a reminder of the cost of suppressing tyranny and keeping the peace.
No one likes war, but sometimes it is necessary to kick the bullies out of the schoolyard. Hitler, Tojo, Mussolini, the Kaiser, and other despots had no respect for peace, human rights, and international law.
May we never forget the young men and women who gave their service and their lives for our country,
They shall not grow old
as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them
Nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun
and in the morning
we will remember them.
Thanks it isn’t mine, but is a classic Remembrance Day one, my fave.
nice poem, thanks for the post 🙂
