And as a mother, I too understand and feel that urge to protect and fight for my loved ones.<br /><br />I love the name of your blog by the way :-)Jaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15772862427317598066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1074997366425469301.post-5414257750685737142011-11-11T15:25:34.714+10:002011-11-11T15:25:34.714+10:00Well done!Well done!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1074997366425469301.post-36853339087417644082011-11-11T14:05:02.866+10:002011-11-11T14:05:02.866+10:00Ok, some honesty here: When I saw the title of you...Ok, some honesty here: When I saw the title of your post - I thought "not another one on rememberance!" I know I know, not very patriotic. I am actually patriotic! But that was the thought I had. Sorry. It was wrong.<br /><br />But... I read your post anyway, and I have goosebumps the whole time.<br /><br />You are so right! It is thanks to them that we are free today. How can we forget?? It seems almost wrong that we only remember it one day a year! I have worked with people who have been in war situations and the sacrifice they make is immense! It is not 'just' their life, and I mean that with the greatest respect. Even those who survive, are so scarred. They often come home to a society that doesn't understand them. Doesn't recognise them. They have changed. How could they NOT? How do you kill, and see death and torture and so many atrocities and not change?<br /><br />I guess because I don't know anyone personally who has been to war, it doesn't feel like it's close to home kind of thing. But it shouldn't matter. Those who went to war went for me too, not just for their wife and kids.<br /><br />It is thanks to them that I am free and more importantly, it is thanks to them that MY CHILDREN are safe.<br /><br />Thank you for the kick up the butt! And I'm sorry I forgot.Anna at Confessions of a Psychologisthttp://psychbaresall.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1074997366425469301.post-79460852119552235722011-11-11T08:43:24.001+10:002011-11-11T08:43:24.001+10:00That is beautiful Shane, I nearly cried.

And without the technological advances of today, the chance of never returning was so high. I didn't know the relatives of mine who fought in the wars but there some. Thanks for sharing this post and such a moving video and song.Veronica @ Mixed Gemshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05012569571281223678noreply@blogger.com
