Another of our veterans has passed on and I know all our thoughts are with his family. I saw this poem and thought it quite appropriate and very true. It is for all the veterans who have died rather than any individual. Rather than place the words here I will simply put the link to the poets website. The poem is called Just a Common Soldier ( A soldier died today) by A. Larry Vaincourt

God and the Soldier, all men adore, In time of danger and not before.
When the danger is passed and all things righted, God is forgotten, and the Soldier slighted.

Pete, thank you for this. I think this poem makes quite a pertinent introduction to this section of the forum so I have added it as a sticky.

We will remember them.
