In five and a half minutes you filled me with pride and with sadness. In five and a half minutes you have shown the futility of war. All our politicians who make decisions to send our armed forces to war then cut their budgets - finally abandoning them when they return (if they return) - should be made to watch and listen to your five and a half minutes each and every day. Incredibly powerful and moving.
Tuesday, May 23, 2006 Robbie Burns' "A Toast to Absent Friends" "To absent friends. To those we have met, To those we have yet to meet, To those who have left us for a while, And to those who have left us forever. Let us lift our glasses and drink a toast that they may abide in our hearts forever. To absent friends" Stand easy, lads! We will never forget your sacrifice!
IMPORTANT! Check out the GERS report that has just been released on the newsnetscotland website! Scotland subsidises the rest of the UK! We are loaded! Read the other article on why Scotland is better off leaving bankrupt Britain! The FACTS are here finally! All the reasons on why we should become independent! If you want to know how to shut up a unionist direct them to this website and you wont hear from them again. I can't see Westminster getting round this! Vote YES in the in the REFERENDUM
Respect and salute from a danish vet, my fiance is scottich and from Hawick, so I feel a connection to this beautiful land of yours, it saddens me every time I see a Ally has fallen, and my thoughts go out to their families and friends, they fought for Scotland and their friends, their sacrifice was not in vain.
What a beautiful tribute to those dear, brave men/boys....It breaks my heart.....How better to honor them than to have them caressed by Susan Boyle's tender and loving voice. Thank you for composing this very special composition. ~~~/)~~~04-09-2011,usa
this really brings it home , makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up and my eyes fill at the same time , thank you lads, we will never forget you .
From an American, I love it!! I can't stop crying; God bless all the soldiers who are in this video as well as the many who aren't. Like our soldiers, I am proud of all soldiers from all countries who fight in the name of freedom. Hopefully, someday there will no longer be need for wars. Wouldn't that be wonderful?
