Veterans Day.
Tags: america, holiday, peaceHappy Veterans Day, (or Remembrance Day, or Armistice Day) everyone. May we one day celebrate this day as only a memory, a lesson learned, a chapter in our human history closed but never forgotten.
And I can’t help but wonder, no Willie McBride,
Do all those who lie here know why they died?
Did you really believe them when they told you “The Cause?”
Did you really believe that this war would end wars?
Well the suffering, the sorrow, the glory, the shame
The killing, the dying, it was all done in vain,
For Willie McBride, it all happened again,
And again, and again, and again, and again.–”Green Fields of France” by Eric Bogle
