Those heroes who shed their blood and lost their lives, you are now lying in the soil of a friendly country. therefore rest in peace. there is no difference between the johnnies and the mehemets to us where they lie side by side in this country of ours.

you, the mothers who sent their sons from far away countries wipe away your tears, your sons are now lying in our bosoms and are in peace. after having lost their lives on this land they become our sons as well.

@theturkzeus Amen to that!

@theturkzeus ATATURK.. what a man.. what a heart. He thinks and feels the pain of mothers from other side of the world and yet in need of console them.

That Psalm is not reassuring...nor appropriate..."I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help..." how ironic.
