Default WE WILL REMEMBER

11 11 11..............Unfortunately we have very short memories!


They will not grow old
As we who are left grow old
Age will not weary them
Nor the years condemn
At the going down of the sun
..........and in the morning
WE WILL REMEMBER THEM

I hadn't seen that recording before. Thanks!

While I don't think war will ever entirely go away, it's worth remembering that all wars end, and that weapons can go on to become curios and recyclables.

Ed, thank you for posting this. It is one of the most beautifully written works ever, and most poignant. For me does not instill depression, but pride as I do indeed....remember.
