My grade 8 teacher drilled this into our heads one November, and now I'm so thankful. Knowing it word-for-word allows me to really focus on the message. If only this were a mandatory part of school curriculum.
I don't know when it started but now there is a Star of David on Jewish graves. I know this for a fact because my husband works for a National Cemetary. Sometimes, I wander amoung the graves and randomly stop at a grave to say a prayer for the family left behind. When I do this, I leave a small rock on the tomb stone so that if any family is left that comes to visit, they can know strangers still honor the sacrifice of their loved one. In fact, all faiths are now honored on the tomb stones.
over 80% of ww1 corpses to this day remain missing, and of those who were found, more than 40% of them cannot be identified. which is when they write, "a soldier of the great war." meaning in centuries from now when people come by they won't even know who they were.
It's so sad...war ughh....at 00:27 you see all the soldiers pressing on but one of them gets shot or something. It's so sad. (To the ight of the screen one of the soldiers starts climbing but just slides down the trench.
I have my poppy.

this is actually the correct way to read it. i hate when people read it line by line, it conveys the wrong message.

They shall not grow old as we who 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.

In Honor of our fallen soldiers, our heroes, our protecters....
Soldiers go to war to protect us, those who do nothing but take this for granted.
We should respect their decision to go to war and to die for us....
This is a beatiful poem :D

When he gets to heaven
To Saint Peter he will tell
Another soldier reporting sir -
I've served my time in hell
Its the ultimate Sacrifice

When you get home, tell them of us
And say
That for your tomorrow, we gave our today
They suffered all
Sacrificed all
Dared all
And died
Lest we forget
