my heart gives you love
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, the Ode of Remembrance from "For the Fallen."
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.
The moon gives you light,
And the bugles and the drums give you music;
And my heart, O my soldiers, my veterans,
My heart gives you love.
--Walt Whitman, from "Dirge for Two Veterans."
