Lest We Forget...


Today we remember those who have served our country,
And those who are currently serving.

Today we remember the sacrifice that they have all made to protect our nation,
So that we are able to enjoy the peace and freedom that we have today.
We also remember the sacrifices that their families and friends have made.

We remember those that have been injuryed, or that have lost their lives.

We thank each and every one of them.
And we pray for those that are currently serving.
May God be with you and keep you safe and out of harms way.

They went with songs to battle,
They were young.
Straight of limb,
True of eyes,
Steady and aglow.
They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted,
They fell with their faces to the foe.

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.

Lest We Forget.

-Laurence Binyon, 'For The Fallen'-

Thank you for your service and sacrifice,
We will remember you.
Lest We Forget.
