Remembrance

Mill, our prayers go out to you, but think of this. He had a full life and now he can rest with his brothers.

If any of you have it, listen closely to Revolution by Chris De Burgh. (It was originaly on his album, the getaway.)

Danny Boy

Ah Danny boy, the pipes,
the pipes are calling
From glen to glen,
and down the mountain side

The summer's gone,
and all the flowers are falling
'Tis you, 'tis you
must go and I must bide

But come ye back
when summer's in the meadow
Or when the valley's hushed
and white with snow

And I'll be here
in sunshine or in shadow
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy,
I love you so

But if you come,
and all the flowers are falling
And I am dead,
as dead I may well be

You'll come and find
the place where I am lying
And kneel and say
an "Ave" there for me

And I will hear,
though soft your tread above me
And o'er my grave
will warmer sweeter be

And you will bend
and tell me that you love me
And I will sleep
in peace until you come to me

But if I live
and should you die for Ireland
Let not your dying thoughts
be just of me

But say a prayer to God
for our dearest Island
I know He'll hear
and help to set her free

And I will take your pike
and place my dearest
And strike a blow,
though weak the blow may be

Twill help the cause
to which your heart was nearest
Oh Danny Boy, Oh, Danny boy
I love you so.

For those who fought
Weather by choice or not
Because we love the men (and women)
Not the soldiers.

For those who lived
And those who died
And those who loved
And those who lost
And those who suffered along side

And those who grieve for the fallen
And friends who never returned
Whatever the cause,
Weather just or unjust
Whatever the convictions, politics or beliefs
With no intention to glorify war, it's causes or effects

But just because
We love the wo/men
Who were soldiers.

"The soldier, above all other people, prays for peace, for he must suffer and bear the deepest wounds and scars of war."

Remembering the British troops killed in Palestine in 1946 and 1947 trying to keep Jews and Arabs from killing each other while the UN decided to do - nothing.
