with Remberance day coming up let me be the 1st

Lest We Forget......ty Dooman....we cannot move forward without remembering from whence we came, and what it takes to have freedom in our lives .....ty to all the Vets.....

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.

WEAR YOUR POPPY WITH PRIDE, IN HUMBLE HONOUR OF THE FALLEN WHO LAID DOWN THEIR LIVES SO THAT WE MAY CELEBRATE THE WONDROUS LIVES WE POSESS.

Remember the dead as a constant reminder of what has been going on..., and unfortunately still seems necessary to be done.

Think of those deployed now and wish them well...

dooman, I shall post a link to a site I have on the Net. My Marternal Grandfather's brother died at the landing of Gallipoli, Turkey. He was 20 years of age. Also my Maternal Grandfather was in the First Light Horse Brigade (mind you, none of these poor young men ever rode a horse in Turkey). I honour EVERY serviceman and servicewoman who has fought overseas for our Nation.

And then go read the words of a wonderful song written by an Aussie

I'll NEVER forget the great men who died for us, so that we may have the freedoms which we enjoy today.

Please wear your poppy with pride as a salute to all of the fallen soldiers.

Let Us Never forget

thank you for your comments my grandparents are veterans if WWII and i have a cousin who is being deployed to Afganistan shortly

lest we forget

dooman

Am wearing my poppy with pride and many thanks. Have served, it is a family tradition - and have had family overseas recently. Will never ever forget.

Aye Aye....two of my uncles were in WWII...and one returned with shellshock....couldn't go on with his life for a few years...sat on the porch and stared straight ahead.....and he did it for us.... Ultimate respect to vets....WE WILL NEVER FORGET!! KOO LOO KOO KOOOOO

That is one of my all time favorite poems.

As a Veteran that will be honoring other Veterans this weekend that is my chief complaint about the WSOP Main Event final table. This holiday is world wide and the WSOP dishonored Veterans world wide by plaing it this weekend when people will be remembering the fallen world wide.

To all the Veterans past and present......We will never forget what you have done for us...........

Thank you so much for that Dooman I have family who have fought hard for our country , and our freedom , also have nephews who have been in Iraq and back , who were all proud of what they have done and I will always honors those who have fought for our country and who are doing so now so we can also have the freedom. I have a nephew who is in training as we speak, God Bless All the Veterans now and those who have served in the past, present and future, and God bless all the families of these brave men and women!! Again Thank you so much for the blog Dooman! Let Us Never Forget What They Have Done For Each And Everyone Of us!

GOD BLESS AMERICA! WE SALUTE YOU!!!

Thanks Darcy!

In remembrance to all that gave their lives for our freedom! Thanks!!!!

remembering all that have lost their lives for our freedom is the right thing to do and giving a day for them is wonderful...but they should be remembered everyday!

We will never forget or fail to appreciate that Freedom isn't free and the men and women who make it possible for us to live as we now live.

Thanks Vets for doing what you did, so we can do what we do!

Thanks for posting dooman, and for sending the link along...

To all those that have and are currently serving, thank you. I'm currently in the Air Force w/17 yrs and reading these words always reenergizes my beliefs and reinforces in me that what I'm doing is for the greater good. We may never see what todays efforts will produce, but in 10-20 years those efforts will be clearly visable for all to see and hopefully understand why we do what we do. Without sacrifice, there will never be peace.

thank you for all the nice pics and comments all
