    Lest we forget..

    #220387

    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.

    Lest we forget.

    That is both a sad & joyful story there Shelbyjet. Sad that he was lost fighting for our great country, yet joyful that he was found and your family can pay their respects properly and have a beer with him ,,,,,

    I will be up on the hill watching the sunrise quietly paying my respects to the fallen ;)

    Yeah ride on brothers.. never forget the cost to others for our freedom.

    My Grandfather had a big role in the war that I’ve only learned of recently after him passing last year. He always carried a great burden of the war and had many secrets that he could never share. He wrote a poem to my Grandmother when they met in England just before WW2 broke out.

    Ten little German boys yodelling on the Rhine
    One went flat and sank then there were nine.

    Nine little German boys strolling through a gate
    A bull came out and chased one then there were eight

    Eight little German boys looking up to heaven
    One thought he’d like it there then were seven

    Seven little German boys thought of many tricks
    One thought a bit too much then there were six

    Six little German boys cheered to be alive
    When Hitler came and caught one, leaving only five

    Five little German boys a fish bone they did gnaw
    When one pushed it down his throat, then there were four

    Four little German boys laughed and cried with glee
    One had done the goose step wrong leaving only three

    Three little German boys swearing at a Jew
    He turned around and shot one then there were two

    Two little German boys weighing half a ton
    One ate alot too much then there was one

    One little German boy looking for some fun
    he sailed away across the sea and then there was none.

    The Grafton Regional Gallery has an amazing exhibition on at the moment celebrating the bravery of our WW1 and WW2 troops. The displays are hand-written letters, first hand accounts and original photos. It really hits home how tough it was for these brave souls.
    The most confronting part has to be the letters to the parents from the military explaining the death of their sons.

    It truely is a day like no other.
    I’m sure we all have our own stories that we remember on this day.
    For me,Anzac day is a time i pay respect to my Grandfathers brother who died in Germany as a POW,my Grandfather who served in the airforce in WW2,my grandmothers brother who battled the Japs in the Pacific.
    Old Gaf who i used to have a beer with ever friday night who did his time on the Burma railway.My mate Greeny who is flying blackhawks in Afganistan.
    And my father inlaw who fought in the jungle of Vietnam and is still fighting that war today.
    Its a day where i reflect and honor those who have served our country,and pay upmost respect to those young men and women wearing our uniform today.
