Veterans Day & Remembrance Day

Filed under: History |

On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month...All gave some, some gave all.

And don’t forget, so did fellow Men and Women in the Commonwealth. They also fought for Freedom. That’s what makes us a Band of Brothers.

AMERICA’S ANSWER

Rest ye in peace, ye Flanders dead.
The fight that ye so bravely led
We’ve taken up. And we will keep
True faith with you who lie asleep
With each a cross to mark his bed,
In Flanders fields.
Fear not that ye have died for naught.
The torch ye threw to us we caught.
Ten million hands will hold it high,
And Freedom’s light shall never die!
We’ve learned the lesson that ye taught
In Flanders fields.

R.W. Lillard

Gee, thanks Macker. I should point out that most of my military service was under the last strong President, Ronald Reagan. Therefore I didn’t have to fire a shot.

BTW, I’ve downloaded all of the Genesis II parts from YouTube. I’ve joined them all together as an avi file. Are you interested? If so, please email me.

Not Just Yes but HELL YES!
