may we remember him continued would they
It's astonishing to see those statistics. This day is about remembering those who lost their lives and the families and friends left behind.
Those stats are so jarring and there are so many grieving loved ones attached to each number. I watched a lot of the coverage that CNN did yesterday and the segment that moved me the most was how many children either don't know their parents or are still grieving due to the war.
remember me to.......hehehehee...!!!!
along2481, that is incredibly inappropriate.
This post is about the men and women that have died fighting for their country. The idea is to remember their ultimate sacrifice.
You may find it amusing, but it's not. If your idea was to get me, or anyone else, to visit your blog by posting a comment that you thought was cute, I am afraid it backfired. That is simply an ignorant comment to make on such a post.
