How they forget so easily
newspaper headlines
say not a word
today and what it was
how easily forgotten
Men that fought bravely so
men who died
with their guts spilled out
men who died on both sides
they gave so much
yet we forget
Here in Britain
no mention made
of this day
a Day that saw
men from all around the World
who gave so much upon that day
the Sea was Red
yet we forget
The 6th of June
remember it
The D Day Landings
without of which
our Freedom given
at the cost
of these Brave Men

Then my generation onwards should be ashamed, if that is the case.

Well that’s how it goes. We forget. Then we make all the same mistakes all over again.

The same mistakes may be made again Cheryl but we should never forget, I remember, out of respect for all those Men and Women. Korea, Aden, the Suez Crisis even the Falklands, people say “where, what”. Well those people who gave their lives did so out of love for their Country or fear, but they gave their lives and it is not much to ask that we should teach the youngster about these Wars and what happened, it does not take much just a few minutes to remember on the Day those Men and Women that gave the most precious gift they could, their Lives.

It’s not just wars, you know. In a poll that was done in the states some months ago, some teens and 20-somethings thought all the stuff about Titanic was just a movie!

The kids are fed fodder all the time, they are like brain dead the young ones now. Young children sat in front of TVs/games/PCs they don’t even know the Social Skills. What a World, sometimes I believe kids here, I suspect the numbers would shock us, don’t even believe 6 million Jews were murdered. We are of a generation Cheryl where we should remember, America’s Vietnam, before that Korea – how many of them are remembered. Just the same here how many remember Aden/Suez you don’t have to be born when they took place but we should know. Are all those still alive from Vietnam to be forgotten let alone all those kids that died. What a World we live in, sometimes think better off out of it.

It is indeed a very worrying thought. I know from Jonathan he is adamant he does not want Children, yet to watch him with them, he is brilliant, makes me sad. David said when he starts (late) they will be like rabbits! I will never see it I know that much.

Yes it must be a worry for you having Grandchildren, the future for them, at the moment quite frightening.
