Message: [QUOTE="JoeSU, post: 1395800, member: 309"] Part of this poem is read in Ottawa on every year Remembrance Day, and it touches me deeply. Remembering the fallen on Memorial Day-- including my uncle Joe-- who died in Italy at Anzio Beach, and my son's classmate Chad Clifton, who was killed in Iraq.. From the Ode of Remembrance by Laurence Binyon: They went with songs to the battle, they were young. Straight of limb, true of eye, steady and aglow. They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted, They fell with their faces to the foe. They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning, We will remember them. [/QUOTE]
