Armistice Day



At the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918 the guns fell silent after 4 years of brutal world war. No one is left... Very few from the second round of the World at War... pretty few from Korea's conflict. Time is thinning the ranks from Vietnam's conflict. When we add into mix Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria Our leaders have not learned a thing about keeping the peace since the War to end all wars. Thanks to the heroic efforts of our servicemen we have remained the land of the free. The home of the brave has paid dearly in those 99 years thence. Let's take more than a moment to thank and remember them.

Our media should have a big share of the blame when it comes to whipping up a public war frenzy.

The voices of peace get drowned out.

our arm chair leaders are profoundly offended so they send out another generation to die to protect the nation and national honor.

Our lamestream media runs a parade of "poor innocent victims" along with a tirade of grievous insults heaped upon our nation; All needing swift avengement.

Politicians and high ranking military create wars just so they can try to get their names in the history books. I have tremendous respect for those military men and women who serve our countries at the whim of those in control.

I am in total agreement. The loss of the cream of our nations needs total respect along with remembrance..

My dad told me the horrors and stench of gruelling war he witnessed never wanted that we (my brothers) and me be in it ever.

Not familiar with the tune but we have sacrificed more than enough because of media outrage.

I pay my highest respects and honor those that have served. I just don't want our beautiful boys wasted over Middle east oil. Those stinking towelheads have been killing each other for centuries in their backwards countries. They want to ride camel pretending this is the 7th century .. fine.. just keep our troops out of it.

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

Our involvement in the Middle East can be traced back to the greedy French & English division of the Ottoman Empire after WW 1.

Thanks for including the poem, it was written by a Canadian soldier physician who grew up about 20 miles from my house. Always brings a tear to my eye.

I'd run across it before and was glad to see it posted.
