We Will Remember Them
I-Bleed-Blue-93
Grant peace, O Lord, across our strife-torn world,
Where war divides and greed and dogma drive.
Help us to learn the lessons from the past,
That all are human and all pay the price.
All life is dear and should be treated so;
Joined, not divided, is the way to go.
Protect, dear Lord, all who, on our behalf,
Now take the steps that place them in harm's way.
May they find courage for each task they face
By knowing they are in our thoughts always.
Then, duty done and missions at an end,
Return them safe to family and friends.
Grant rest, O Lord, to those no longer with us;
Who died protecting us and this their land.
Bring healing, Lord, to those who, through their service,
Bear conflict’s scars on body or in mind.
With those who mourn support and comfort share.
Give strength to those who for hurt loved-ones care.
And some there be who no memorial have;
Who perished are as though they’d never been.
For our tomorrows their today they gave,
And simply asked that in our hearts they'd live.
We heed their call and pledge ourselves again,
At dusk and dawn - we will remember them.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
We will remember them.

The legion of the living salutes the legion of the dead!

Lest we forget.
As many know, I rarely do this as I find it mostly meaningless.

I salute those who serve.
They wear a target on their back to protect my freedom.

I salute all the fallen soldiers, of all countries, who fought in the Great war and all wars since.
Lest we forget.

Nice tribute. As a society we don't take care of our Veterans near as well as we should. When those folks put on that uniform and serve the country making immense sacrifices they deserve to never have to want for anything again. The way Vets have been treated the past few years is shameful.

11/11/14 100 years on, I held my minute silence with pride today, RIP to all my brave countrymen and commonwealth allies. Respect to all current servicemen, may you continue to serve your queen and country proud o7

I was disgusted at my service where it was like we forgot about WW1 and WW2 and it was all about the recent modern wars and the "sacrifice" our troops are making for "our freedom"
I guess I should add that I was in Maine this year for it (I am from Nova Scotia but visiting friends)

Never forget.
