It is inspiration from the people of U.S.A
They do much things to praise their armed forces . What the army do in their regular job. Every one must tribute troops.

The Pakistan Forces are not a group I'm overly familiar with, but it's nice to see a tribute to them.
My respect goes out to all the forces of the world, all the grunts on the front line and all those that have lost their lives in search of a better tomorrow. It's a shame that things like war exist, but humans are animals, and animals are violent by nature. Someone has to keep the peace, and the forces are our first line of defence.

May all those lost rest in peace.

I tribute to the UK armed forces:-

Intense fighting during the last year in two different war zones has seen British troops suffer the worst casualty figures in a generation. Between October 1, 2006 and September 30 this year, a total of 432 servicemen and women were seriously wounded in action in Iraq and Afghanistan, and a total of 1,137 had to be flown home for medical treatment. Many have had their lives changed for ever - losing their sight, hearing, organs or limbs. And when they come home from service, many are forced out living on the streets and begging because the government they give so much for, quite frankly, couldn't care a sh*t about them, which is disgusting. Show your support for our troops @
Here.

T'was The Night Before Christmas, He Lived All Alone,
In A One Bedroom House, Made Of Plaster And Stone.
I Had Come Down The Chimney, With Presents To Give,
And To See Just Who, In This Home Here Did Live.
I Looked All About, A Strange Sight I Did See,
No Tinsel, No Presents, Not Even A Tree.
No Stocking By The Mantle, Just Boots Filled With Sand,
On The Wall Hung Pictures, Of Far Distant Lands.
With Medals And Badges, Awards Of All Kinds.
A Sober Thought, Came Through My Mind.
For This House Was Different, It Was Dark And Dreary,
I Found The Home Of A Soldier, Once I Could See Clearly.
The Soldier Lay Sleeping, Silent, Alone,
Curled Up On The Floor, In This One Bedroom Home.
The Face Was So Gentle, The Room In Disorder,
Not How I Pictured, A Lone British Soldier.
Was This The Hero, Of Whom I'd Just Read?
Curled Up On A Poncho, The Floor For A Bed?
I Realized The Families, That I Saw This Night,
Owed Their Lives To These Soldiers, Who Were Willing To Fight.
Soon Round The World, The Children Would Play,
And Grownups Would Celebrate, A Bright Christmas Day.
They All Enjoyed Freedom, Each Month Of The Year,
Because Of The Soldiers, Like The One Lying Here.
I Couldn't Help Wonder, How Many Alone,
On A Cold Christmas Eve, In A Land Far From Home.
The Very Thought Brought, A Tear To My Eye,
I Dropped To My Knees, And Started To Cry.
The Soldier Awakened, And I Heard A Rough Voice,
"Santa, Don't Cry, This Life Is My Choice.
I Fight For Freedom, I Don't Ask For More,
My Life Is My God, My Country, My Corps."
The Soldier Rolled Over, And Drifted To Sleep,
I Couldn't Control It, I Continued To Weep.
I Kept Watch For Hours, So Silent And Still,
And We Both Sat & Shivered, From The Cold Night's Chill.
I Didn't Want To Leave, On That Cold, Dark Night,
This Guardian Of Honour, So Willing To Fight.
Then The Soldier Rolled Over, With A Voice, Soft And Pure,
Whispered, "Carry On Santa, It's Christmas Day, All Is Secure."
One Look At My Watch, And I Knew He Was Right,
"Merry Christmas My Friend, And To All A Good Night."

Thought as christmas was coming I would post this poem

An honourable salute to the fallen men and women of World War II... that fought tyranny without hidden agenda. That sacrificed their lives for the freedom of humanity...in a justifiable war(the only war...in my honest opinion)

















Imagine if Nazi Germany and Imperialist Japan were to succeed...it would certainly be different now....

But one thing that is for sure...i will be in the Resistance....viva la freedom!!!


Respect and Love.

Tribute to the Troops.

Well I don't know if I've understood the title correctly; but I would like to just mention that tomorrow is November 11th.

Rememberance Day.

All those hundreds of thousands of men & women lost their lives in the 1st and 2nd World War. I think its admirable what they've done for us, and the way in which they have shaped our countries. I do also think that they would have wanted everyone to just get on; and not have any repeats of what happened at these awful times. So I just say; my thoughts are with those who fought in the two World Wars & that I think as an international society; we should forgive and forget.

REMEMBRANCE DAY.

Remembrance Day is here again,
On this day we remember all those who were slain.
The ones they left behind have endured much sorrow and pain.
But rest assured,
the whole world knows those brave ones didn't die in vain.

The poppies that you see people wear,
Are there to show you they still care.
We open our hearts so that we can share,
A moment of silence, and offer a prayer.

To all the soldiers who died saving our country.

They went with songs to the battle, they were young.
Straight of limb, true of eyes, 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.
