We will remember them

We will remember:

Those who served abroad and those who kept the home fires burning.

Those who went and didn’t return and those who returned with wounds seen and unseen.

Those who fought and those who served in other ways.

 

We will value:

What they did and that we have never had to do it.

What they sacrificed and what we have because of that.

What they lost and what they won for us.

 

We will remember war and we will value peace.

    We are running out of old soldiers to parade on Anzac day, they are dying off, so a new war is needed……

    If we can learn from others’ mistakes, we can learn from others’ wars, Andrei. There are still wars, we do not need a new one.

    I know – but it is on the way anyway, I’m so depressed about it…..

    And we haven’t learned from the past obviously or perhaps evil men actually want a war to advance their interests and power.

    You have to wonder sometimes……..
