Remembrance Day

[gryphon]

I would like to share this poem I wrote for Remembrance Day



Remembrance Day



For those who stood

We stand

For those who fell

We remember

For those who sacrificed

We observe

For those who built

We are grateful

For those who gave all

We give

For those who died unnamed

We honor

For those who gave the future

We continue

@gryphon I missed this last year, I was in the hospital.

Heartfelt sentiments expressed by you.

This year, I appreciated all the extra coverage in the media about the wars. The emphasis was on the centenary of the Armistice, but I learned a great deal more.

I wish coverage was this extensive every year.
