It is for us they signed the muster, the ledger, the roll. It is for us they served, they fought, they struggled. It is for us they suffered, they bled, they sacrificed, they died.
Today, it is for them we reflect, we ponder, we display, we honor. It is for them we congregate, we commemorate, we lionize, we appreciate.
God Bless the men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice so that others may inherit and enjoy the freedoms of this great country.

Well said!
Much more eloquently said than I ever could!
In New Zealand the government want to change to national flag, the one that all those soldiers died for, why?
Right to the point!
Thank you for reading and for the “like”. I frequently think of or see you somewhere a sentence expressing what I decide is the thought of the day. It doesn’t happen every day but I’d call it the thought of the day anyway. Today I chose a sentence that you wrote: “some people have a talent for picking a problem out of a barrel of solutions”. Hope you don’t mind if I borrow that once in a while I will remember to quote you. Thanks again for your time and attention.
