Man, never learns, and war continues to kill those fighting for their freedom. I shall never forget the words of Henry John Patch. Thank you for sharing his story.

And...Jeanie, that Ukranian Now song is so touching. And Harry Patch couldn't have been more accurate with his assessment of war. My Dad never talked about his horrors of WWII, and even though he survived his wounds, he mist definitely suffered what we now know as PTSD, dying at the young age of 67 with a complicated health history. Thank for this tribute to veterans.Rita C at Panoplyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17351306074493103021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-42632512619439084252022-11-12T23:01:30.954-05:002022-11-12T23:01:30.954-05:00Such a poignant and emotional post, Jeanie.

Or Veteran's Day as I believe you call it in America. It is a time for solemn remembrance. Not for celebration, but reflection and honouring the memory of the fallen.

The stories of former soldiers are so important to hear, because of both the ideals that are important and the fundamental community of humanity. My great-uncles were in that War to End All Wars.

Between blogger not allowing me to leave comments and the internet, I am really stressed out.<br /><br /><br />I remember reading about Patch on your blog before, but seeing the photos again was enjoyable, especially on this very important day.
