A Soldiers Poem

[Eric Korhonen]

That is an amazing poem. Terrible that is it so true, so many of they soldiers do not get the proper respect that they deserve. They should all be honoured for these men and women gave us the freedom we have today.
It should all begin in the schools. I think the children of today are not taught and told in greater detail of what these brave people went through and did for all of us. It should be more than 1 or 2 days around Remembrance Day, it should be a specific modual that is taught to them.
I had 3 uncles overseas during WW#2. They did not want to speak of the war so as a youngster I had no ideas what they went thru. Many years after they had passed away I was able to obtain copies of their military records from Ottawa and have been finding out where they were and what they did. I wish with what I know now I could have spoken to them and let them know how very proud I'am of them.
If you a veteran in your family, give them a hug, shake their hand, tell them you love them and say thank you for they are great people.

Thanks so much for sharing this poem with us.
