Remembrance Day, 2010.
11 November, 2010, 00:55
As a well known member of the forum, I'd like to open this thread with the utmost respect for those who have fallen in all wars, past and present.
Please post here to share your thoughts and comments.
I'll add in a prayer (originally posted in the November Pathfinder Group UK Newsletter), this was also posted by another Facebook User, and was sent to the Official Group of the Palace Barracks Memorial Garden.
I was sitting in the garden
The flowers were all in bloom
And all around were soldiers
Wearing berets of Green,Black,Gray and Maroon.
Most of them were Strangers
But some of them I knew
There was Stan.William,Bill and Scouse
And yes there was Johnny too.
I look upon their faces
They are so young so bold
And as i sit I wonder
Why I am so bent and old.
I speak to them-they don't reply
They do not see me-I wonder why
What's wrong with me I cannot tell
They're all my mates they know me well
Then I awake and realise
It's all been just a dream
There are rows and rows of grave stone's
And not a soldier to be seen
My friends have gone back whence they came
And on their grave I read their names
Stan Frost, Willam Starr, and Scouse Maclaughlin
And John Roberts-He;s there too.
Goodbye my friends and comrades all
I saw you fight ,I saw you fall
You gave your all-You did you're best
Please, God give you all eternal rest.
I will remember them.
Rest in Peace.
(I know this isn't airsoft related, but perhaps your hearts and minds could expand beyond airsoft and consider our countries past heritage, and leave this thread open in the most viewed area of the forum).
Please get in touch if you want general help. Please report problematic posts.
Take responsibility for your choices. If you break any rule in life, you should be held accountable.

On the day we remember the end of WW1, id like to add my thanks to all those who have not come home. ' there, but for the grace of God, tread all of us who have served. We do not celebrate, we just live the rest of our lives in greatful for those who have made the ultimate sacrifice in our stead.'

Re: Remembrance Day, 2010.
A few simple words of respect, past and present, for all those across our nation and a time to remember friends who never came home...
That poem about where “poppies blow”
And, “the crosses, row on row”
Still rings true, these ninety years
After written, still brings tears.
We still have Dead, “amid the guns”
And lose our young and our loved ones
Those who lived, “short days ago”
Who, “felt dawn, saw sunset glow”.
In Flanders Fields, “the poppy red”
Still grow where the blood was bled
They, “Take up our quarrel with the foe”
And still die for Freedoms that we know.
They pass, “The torch” to, “hold it high”
And not, “break the faith with us who die”
For they, “shall not sleep, though poppies grow”
Beneath all those, “crosses, row on row”
In Flanders Fields.
The nomad only goes from point to point as a consequence and as a factual necessity: in principle, points for him are relays along a trajectory.” (Nomadology: The War Machine)

Thankyou to the brave men that lost their lives to give us our freedom.
Never to be forgotten.

Re: Remembrance Day, 2010.
Silence was also given by my company also.
Thank you so much to the men and women who sacrifice so much so we can have what we have.

Silence was observed by some but not all at work... no alarm signaling it... very annoyed.
