The Seeker 3,048 Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 It's so important we never forget, these and other brave men and women who have served and given their lives for this country. Whilst the politicians fight each other for their own personal ends and tear the heart out of this once proud nation disrespecting what these people fought for its up to the common man to remember . God bless them all. Brave to the last Link to post Share on other sites
