Now on the eleventh day of the eleventh month 2014 we remember the people who gave their lives for a ideal.
"But young Willie McBride, it all happened again,
And again and again and again."
<<<<<<
Sometimes the poets said it best.
Back by Wilfred Gibson
They ask me where I've been,And what I've done and seen.But what can I replyWho know it wasn't I,But someone just like me,Who went across the seaAnd with my head and handsKilled men in foreign lands...Though I must bear the blame,Because he bore my name.
