5 YEARS ON - 9 September 2001 (9/11) - LEST WE FORGET !!!!!! - GoFuckYourself.com

CuriousToyBoy · 09-10-2006, 06:59 AM

As the clock here rolls over to 9/11 (midnight here in Australia), 5 years on, I am reminded of a verse of prose that is recited EVERY night in EVERY Australian Returned Services League (RSL) in rememberance of soldiers who fell in the wars they fought in throughout the years, and is then followed by the playing of the military bugle "The Last Post" and then ended with a 1 minute silence ....

I think it fits well to also remember the victims (both then and still now) of 9/11 and the events that have followed - both in the words themselves and the emotion that it involves .........

It is entitled, The Ode of Remembrance and is taken from Laurence Binyon's "For the Fallen" ..........

They shall not grow 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.

I do believe that bit sort of refers to not letting years ever lessen their sacrifice.
