Rest in peace. May these souls never be forgotten
but i get tears in my eye to see so many people of my age, not giving a flying ***** about them :'( :'(

They shall grow not 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.

To those that have gone before us, rest well knowing your sacrifices were not in vain.

To those that stand in front of us, know that the sacrifices you make today create a better tomorrow.

To those who will stand in times to come, know that your generation will thank you.

Oh! you who sleep in Flanders Fields,
Sleep sweet - rise anew!
We caught the torch you threw
And holding high, we keep the Faith
With All who died.

We cherish, too, the poppy red
That grows on fields where valor led;
It seems to signal to the skies
That blood of heroes never dies,
But lends a lustre to the red
Of the flower that blooms above the dead
In Flanders Fields.

And now the Torch and Poppy Red
We wear in honor of our dead.
Fear not that ye have died for naught;
We'll teach the lesson that ye wrought
In Flanders Fields.

To my brothers and sisters at arms throughout the world.

Do something with your life, my friend, that lasts beyond your time;
Create, remake, and innovate-leave something grand behind.
Give beauty root to render fruit for others when you go;
Expand its seeds by planting trees whose shade you’ll never know.

I see them every day... These brave men who faught for our freedom in time of need when a red flag ruled over Europe they crossed the seas to fight a war that wasent theirs so that other may regain the freedom they used to have. I see these veterans slowly fading away but i will remember them. they may be old and their body now frail the marks of war still on them but they are still young at heart and remember the days of their young age telling tales of a time now passed. when i think of these men now forgoten even by their own governement a tear comes to my eye. The hospital may close they may grow old and pass away but i will not forget what they did for so long as i live i will remember why we have this thing called freedom. Because of the sacrifices of men and women before us we have what we now know what we take for granted every days of our lives. You may not agree with the governements you may not agree with the reasons you may not agree with the generals but pay respect for the men and women of faught who, now fight for what they belive in. Pay respect for those who pay the ultimate price to give us the life we now have.

May we never forget those who came before us and the changes they brought to this world.

Support the soldiers,
denounce the wars.

Regardless of time, service or place,
Regardless of reason, colour or race,
Regardless of how, why or where,
You served your country, and that's why we care.
Regardless of area, region or land,
Regardless of order or officer command,
Regardless of how, when or why,
You served your country and didn't deserve to die.
Regardless of year,we will always remember,
The eleventh hour of the eleventh day of November,
For those who have served, been injured or died,
Please wear that poppy and wear it with pride.

These, in the day when heaven was falling,
The hour when earth’s foundations fled,
Followed their mercenary calling
And took their wages and are dead.

Their shoulders held the sky suspended;
They stood, and earth’s foundations stay;
What God abandoned, these defended,
And saved the sum of things for pay.

As a Veteran I would like to thank you folks and this community.

[Nufsed]

And yet there they stand,
Those queralous men,
Demons in human skin,
Scourge in hand,
Our peers set high by ignorance,
Driven by greed and lust for power,
They demand yet more sacrifice and death.
With eyes wide shut we still throw ourselves
into the abyss.
When will we learn?
When;will we learn!
