two observations in verse
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.
--Lawrence Binyon, from "For the Fallen."
We are the ones you sent to fight a war
you did not know a thing about--
those of us that lived
have tried to tell you what went wrong.
Now you think you do not have to listen.
--W.D. Ehrhart, from "A Relative Thing."
Today is Veterans Day here in the US, Remembrance Day in much of the rest of the world.
Please take a moment to remember all those who have served and who still do, the living as well as the dead.
