A Poem for the RUC

[Karateka73]

While the death of Ronan Kerr is both sad & tragic, let's reflect on the men & women of the RUC who laided down their lives to try & make Northern Ireland a better place. Let us not forget the catholic officers who served in the RUC against a far greater risk when the IRA was at the height of it's murderous campaign & stopped many decent law abiding catholics from joining & serving the community. It is sad when the death of Constable Kerr has been used as nothing more than a PR exercise by many.

Yet again we are drawn back to the dark days of the past - my thoughts and prayers go out to the families of the 2 soldiers and the police officer murdered by cowards.
