MollynDiesel Posted November 11, 2011 Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 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. From Laurence Binyon's poem For the Fallen, written in September 1914 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aronoiiel Posted November 11, 2011 Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 Doesn't matter where you live or what the service is called if you have fought to maintain a safe place for you and your family and a safe place to come home to I salute you and thank you from my heart for allowing the rest of us whom you have never met to have a place to call home.
