Question

to all the Veterans and Active Duty personnel all over the world.

Answer 1

For The Fallen

With proud thanksgiving, a mother for her children,
England mourns for her dead across the sea.
Flesh of her flesh they were, spirit of spirit,
Fallen in the cause of the free.

Solemn the drums thrill: Death august and royal
Sings sorrow up into immortal spheres.
There is music in the midst of desolation
And a glory that shines upon our tears.

They went with songs to the battle, they were young,
Straight of limb, true of eye, steady and aglow.
They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted,
They fell with their faces to the foe.

They shall grow not 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.

They mingle not with laughing comrades again;
They sit no more at familiar tables of home;
They have no lot in our labour of the day-time;
They sleep beyond England's foam.

But where our desires are and our hopes profound,
Felt as a well-spring that is hidden from sight,
To the innermost heart of their own land they are known
As the stars are known to the Night;

As the stars that shall be bright when we are dust,
Moving in marches upon the heavenly plain,
As the stars that are starry in the time of our darkness,
To the end, to the end, they remain.

Laurence Robert Binyon, 1869-1943.

Answer 2

I salute you, Sir! Thank you for the kind words, and thank you and all other vets for their service to our country. I, too, am very proud of my service (22 years in the Navy), as is my wife (3 years Army), my son (4 years Army), another son (active duty Navy), and our eldest son (7 years Navy and currently serving with the the Army's 1st Cav in Iraq).

Have a proud Veteran's Day!

Answer 3

I am a combat veteran of the Vietnam conflict. On today, the Marine Corp's birthday, I thank you, and have much the same wish, except for the last phrase. I would say, "may your life be filled with Honor!"

I would change that one word because I believe that a great impediment to the peace we seek is "pride". It is, by many accounts, the preeminent one of the seven deadly "sins".

Answer 4

As the daughter, niece, cousin, wife and mom of military personal I am extremely proud of our military.

Happy Birthday Marines and Happy Veteran's Day to all that have served and all that are serving. I love you all.
