without much thought of the great risk for
protecting those left at home, we hallow this Day.
My good friend Duncan sent me the following.
Thank you for your Service.
Thanks Pal.
Thanks.

It's Memorial Day on Monday, so a little something to honor those that fought, some that
were injured and some that died.
Here dead we lie, by A. E. Housman
Here dead we lie
Because we did not choose
To live and shame the land
From which we sprung.
Because we did not choose
To live and shame the land
From which we sprung.
Life, to be sure,
Is nothing much to lose,
But young men think it is,
Is nothing much to lose,
But young men think it is,
And we were Young

This is a great poem (and is so true).
Thanks for posting it Sol.
Thank you Pat,
Welcome and how great to hear from you again.
Yes it is a wonderful poem, brief and right to the Point.
Say a lot with few words.... It sez it all.
I think we get the gist of It a little better as we age.
