Lest We Forget

[Hellfighter 17]

(When it is 11:00 p.m. in your tim ezone I would like you to post something about Remeberence Day in your family or something, so if anything else then please don't post here as we are honouring the soldiers. I made this so early because i don't know everybody's time zones. And this isn't my Rememberence Day post.)

I will not be here at 11 PM, so I'll do it now.

I dont have alot to "remember" or "thank" but I have one thing that is very important to me.

My grandfather was murdered in World War II by American Traitors, and my father was killed in Vietnam. I was not close to either one. Actually, I hate them both and never liked them, as they both were total assholes to me.

The fact is, though, they died for our country. They died trying to protect us, and for that, I will always remember and am proud to have come from their blood. Though I would never join the military, I am thankful for everyone who puts their lives on the line for us. Of course, including Sammy/Vegeta who is in Japan =)

Sorry is this is early, but I wont be here later

5 mins early.. but still..

I respect those that died for the sake of the world. MY grandfarther was in the service during both those war's, while not away, he kept thing's going here in England by being in the fire bragade. My Grand dad & Great Grand dad where both in the airforce (on my dad's side), I dunno what happened to them, but I'm sure they might have been sent over there.

Either way, I still give a moment to say my peace in my mind to those that died in order for us all to live in the way we live now. If a person clsoe to you die's, weather it be out of a war or in one, you have the choice to say your peace in your mind while being silent about it.

I don't care if other's disagree to this, but it is souly up to you to make what oyu want of your life, you can remember those you want in your own way. No one can change who you are & what you wish to do. So that's that..

Note to Tap & BArdock: Shut up the pair of you, this is meant to be for remembering those that died for the sake of other's, not for you both to have a fight in. Take to bloody PM's, not in here!!

My dad was a marine in the 1st Gulf War, and Im glad he's still with me. Ignore those who dont feel like showing proper respect, an arguement is the last thing needed in this thread.

In Flanders Fields
By: Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae, MD (1872-1918)
Canadian Army

IN FLANDERS FIELDS the poppies blow
Between the crosses row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

I might not be here at 11, I don't keep track of time, so i'll put in my say.

I remember, my grandpa told me of the war, every year, I go to ceremonies. Around me, people talk, and have fun, and I put one finger to my lips, and shh them. Remembrance day, or Veteran's for the US, is very important to me, I remember every battle, and mindless slaughter told in books, movies, and etc. Torture, murder, and everything horrible was in those two wars, but those men took it. They charged into hell itself, to be slain in it, only few surviving gunfire, and missiles in a flame. Everyday, I look around me and see freedom, the freedom they helped forge in that war, so we could have at least a sub-par peace, and not fear of Hilter, and his army of Satan's name. I do understand this, what they did, and sometimes it brings a tear to my eye. To thank them, at least give a moment, a pure moment, of silence, to think of what they did, do not talk with no respect. This is no bullshit, this is true, they gave their lives, for ours to be happy.

I conclude now.

(Edit: I see you see now Bardock, ignore the part about bullshit.)

[Burter]

I'm deleting every post that was arguing.

Bardock, DO NOT BE AN ASSHOLE. I mean seriously. You may not believe in Veteran's Day but there are people here who DO, so dont RUIN it for us.

[The Not Cool Not Tapion]

Thank you Burter. And thanks for telling me you accidently deleted mine. It's ok. I will repost it.


I don't know if I can get on at 11 so I will do my rememberence day.


My cousin was sent to the middle east. I don't know if he is still alive because I havn't heard anything about it. It frightens me to lose my cousin because he was really cool. I will remember him anyway.

It's a little bit late but...

I really appreciate what millions of soldiers did for are countries, by sacrificing their lives and risking their lives so that Europeans and us could have freedom no matter what. my great uncle wa sthe only that I know of that served in either war, and he survived it but died a bit after. And my cousin is in the Canadian army, god bless him, and he wants to go to the middle east to peace keep, but our family begs him not to as we do not wannt to see him hurt. And I am sure that countless other families would not like to see their children, or husbands or fathers go into war. So I salute the soldiers and their families, past, present and future.

=\ late... I was busy... anyway I'll post out f respect.

My grandfather served in the military practically all of his prime years in life, the only time off he got he spent with his family and running a small business on the side as well as building the house my grandmother lives in. When he came home from the war he was much out of shape, being a POW for almost the entire time he hadn't had the best of treatment but was still alright.
Then the years piled causing him to age much quicker, he gained weight and had a high blood pressure which eventually killed him... I'm not going on about him to make up a sad story, it's just that... if he wouldn't have gone to war to come back the man that I would eventually see laying in a coffin then maybe I could've had him around a little longer. Had him around to talk to, to get to know, to understand better. But I don't, and even though he's gone I still give thanks that he was out there helping retain the peaceful nature that the basic America stands for. Not all that legal stuff, but for the people who want to live their lives the way they want.
I deeply respect those that put their path against the wind to push on for a better tomorrow, because if they didn't, nobody would.

I'm really late, But things happen.

I am proud of all the soilders out there in the field doing what most others would run away from. I'm proud to have had a grandfather and two uncles in the marines, and a cousin who was just shipped over seas to iraq.

These people, in America, Canada..or where ever else. They do the things they do to protect and ensure the freedom of their fellow man and country...I have the upmost repsect for them...may they all return safely, and for the ones who don't let us honor them.
