In Memory Forever

Eleventh

They shall grow not old,
as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them,
nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun
and in the morning
We will remember them.

  2. If he hadn't died last year, my father in-law would have spent the last month selling poppies for the Legion.

    As a veteran myself? I always prefer the idea of celebrating Armistice day.

    I got an email today from President Obama thanking me for my service.(A mass mailer, no doubt) I would prefer to receive the news that the men and women are coming home. For good.

  3. Thanks, db. I figured you'd do something. (I wrote a series of posts for 11/11.)
