Lest we forget.
Lest we Forget! R.I.P.
Slightly different look at today from Iron Maiden ...

and proper bugles and cornets not a trumpet in sight!
See you on the Dark Side......
We will remember them !
Indeed
....the dead men there, winners or loosers...did not care....
"We do not stop playing when we get old, but we get old when we stop playing."
Salute to brave men Rest in peace
For a tribute of all these boys I always like to listen to 1916 by Motorhead. The text of the song always shakes me...
They went with songs to the battle, they were young.
Straight of limb, true of eye, steady and aglow.
They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted,
They fell with their faces to the foe.
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.
They mingle not with their laughing comrades again;
They sit no more at familiar tables of home;
They have no lot in our labour of the day-time;
They sleep beyond England's foam
See you on the Dark Side......
We must remember them and do what we can to ensure future generations do the same.
However at times like this, I sometimes wonder whether this game truly honours their sacrifice or encourages conflict.
Prepare for it to be a bit dusty in the room...
Very moving Fox.
Not one I had come across before.
