Soldiers Poem
So sad and so very true.
For those of use that have not been in the military our selves, we will not have had the good or bad experiences that military personnel have had.
When we read about battles and casualties we are sad. When a soldier reads about casualties in battle he most lightly knew the fallen.His Comrade in arms.
Once battles are over the soldier returns to "normal life". However it can never be as normanl as the life we know. So many people on this forum have said the soliers experiences are largley hidden away till after they have died. Only later when its to late can we start to realise how brave dedicated and possibly alone they were.
R I P where ever you are. We will remember you.
