The Ode

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.

Our service men and women do so much more than just protect us but also help us in times of need.

You have our respect.

Good on you, man. Good stuff, glad to see people care about this. Having friends in the military and currently overseas has given me a better understanding of Anzac day.

Thanks to both our fallen soldiers and to my friends currently serving. Hope to see you soon!

always close to my heart, pop and his brothers all served.

 

 

also, a good mate and ex training partner from Spaineys, Paulie Warren, below, is but one example of a talented guy who's dreams were cut short, while serving his country.

Much respect to your family and Paulie, nerf.

Agreed - respect.

 

My late step-grandfather serviced in ww1, would have died there (and his squad) if one of his mates didn't jump onto and use his body as a shield over a grenade.

these are the stories we should hear about on the news, but oh no, its full of paparrazi crap, who Chris Brown has hit, who's sleeping with who, etc.

these guys serving are true heroes.
