Remember

Always remember

Once again I am posting on this thread that was originally created 4 years ago in homage and in remembrance to those who risked their lives to give us what we now have today. This is one thread I will forever be proud to post on.

Not just this day, but everyday.

I will always remember

Posting on this thread to honor the veterans who fought to allow us what we have today.

War. War never changes.
Since the dawn of human kind,
when our ancestors first discovered the killing power of rock and bone,
blood has been spilled in the name of everything
from God
to justice
to simple psychotic rage.

War. War never changes.
The Romans waged war to gather slaves and wealth.
Spain built an empire out of their lust for gold and territory.
Hitler shaped a battered Germany into an economic superpower

It's said war - war never changes.
Men do, through the roads they walk.
And this road - has reached its end

Our deep gratitude

First of all, Thank You Rantsalot for this thread.

Every year we commemorate this event where the young soldiers of that generation sacrificed their lives, families, happiness to serve the nation and the people who they thought at that time are worth dying for.

I was not born in this country, though I experienced the repressions and living without freedom until we won the battle to win back democracy.

I cannot imagine what could have happened had Hitler and the Japanese invaders (of my country of birth) succeed. Though Ironically this two countries became a super power in economic progress. Life isn't fair hah!

However, we are all grateful for those soldiers who lost their dreams... their limbs... their lives for us.

Seeing in the news how one war veterans welled up in tears when he was shown the new $20 polymer bill, honouring them for the sacrifices they made in order for us to live without oppression and with liberty.

So, this Sunday November 11, let's all accord them the honour they deserve. To this men and women.... Our Salute!




Life isn't fair, but it's still good.

Life isn't tied up with a bow, but it's still a gift.

Bryan Adams - Remembrance Day

This Bryan Adams Remembrance Day song still gets me all choked up

[Lani]

Indeed

This Bryan Adams Remembrance Day song still gets me all choked up

A very moving song indeed. Thank You Locomotion, not only for this youtube link, but also for finding time to contribute and giving your share in paying homage to the selfless act those men and women in uniform did for the country they love.

I hope more conscientious and decent people like you and others here could find time to do the same, and despite the pervert nature of this forum, a few more could have even a tiniest act of personal valour to divert from their desire in looking on where to find the best bottom experience and contemplate instead on why they are now enjoying this freedom.

'Coz, tomorrow as Scarlet O'hara said in Gone with the Wind... "will be another day" anyway.

.......And they can all go back to their Tara.....lalaland! again.
