Daniel Greenfield:
‘..The tale has many variations. Sometimes there are many warriors, sometimes only a handful. They march into the village of the enemy in triumph, or they make a last stand on a rocky outcropping, spending the last of their heart’s blood to buy time they will never know. There is the weak man who becomes strong, the strong man who becomes weak, the woman who mourns the man who will never return, and the man who goes off to battle with nothing to lose. These tales have been told countless times in the ages of men, and they will be told again for as long as men endure.
It is not only the warriors who need the tale, or those left behind. Future generations learn who they are from this tale. “We are the people who died for this land,” is the unseen moral of each tale. “We bled for it. Now it is yours to bleed and die for.”
The warrior’s tale tells each generation that they stand on the wall against a hostile world. And that the wall is made not of stones, but of their virtues. Their courage, their integrity and their craft. Theirs is the wall and they are the wall– and if they should fail, then it will fail. And the land and the people will be swept away…’
Said much more eloquently than I ever could. Thank you for posting this Keith. It is well for the public to remember those who have fought and bled for their homes.
Memorial Day in America for our fallen heroes – 6.700 killed since 9/11/2001 in the global war against Islamic terrorism that – according to the traitor-president Obama – has ended.
BTW, their will be no Memorial Day veteran marches in a number of large Leftist controlled American cities to include the Seattle Soviet…not that our worthless piece of shit commie mayor and his crime buddies on the city council would show up.
Like the old U.S. Army marching song said, “Fuck them all but nine, six for pall bearers, two for road guards, and one to count cadence.”
We are the ones who will continue to remind those who wish to forget the sacrifice of our BEST–both from your country and mine–
Thank You KG-

Taps for the fallen British, Canadian, Australian and New Zealand heroes – who died along side American soldiers in many hard fought wars in many corners of the planet Earth for God and Country
It’s Memorial Day for all the veteran and active duty children of England, “We few, we happy few, we band of brothers…”
All we need is a new Henry The Fifth to lead us to victory
