Remember

[madshutterbug]

Remember them all.

Those who served so long ago we may not even know their names nor where from they came.

Those who served more recently, that we may know their names and whence they came.

Those who return home in any and all portion, because they do.

Those who '... gave the last full measure of devotion.' Because they did.

Those who serve now, from where ever they came, and for whomever they serve. Because they do.

I say again, for whomever they serve. Because no one truly believes they themselves to be evil, even if you name them so.

Remember them all.

HERE DEAD WE LIE

Here dead we lie
Because we did not choose
To live and shame the land
From which we sprung.

Life, to be sure,
Is nothing much to lose,
But young men think it is,
And we were young.
