Lest We Forget
i was about to say uwotm8
then i remembered it's remembrance day.
Called Veteran's Day here in US. My best friend's family was a USMC family and we were really close. He actually joined his brother and father in becoming a Marine. Good to remember that while we're all scaping and sleeping peacefully at night our militaries are out defending for us. And to those that we've lost on the battlefield will not be forgotten.
<3 your darfs and colinwarriors and whoever else
Yeah I went to a parade today.
It's amazing to see all the local support in my area.
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
I love Veterans day. I just want to go hug every old man with a decorated hat and thank him for putting it all out there for people like me.
