Je vous demande seulement le repos et la tranquillit�. I read this in Southern France at a home for Legion Etrangere veterans.
The simple plea for rest and tranquility just about sums up your poem.
La l�gion est tojours ma patrie.

I can assure you that my uncle, now 93, the last veteran in our family except for his brother, about 80, a veteran of the Navy in the Korean War, are both respected and honored by our family. Both are living their lives very comfortably in retirement.

As your poem suggests, we would do well to remember never to let Remembrance become a mere memory.

Live long and strong, dear Vivian.

We've been very sadly letting it happen for a very long time. Our valiant veterans deserve far more than our nation has ever given them, since its inception.

The picture, unfortunately, depicts the scenario many veterans are suffering today. Without our veterans fighting to preserve this country, many of us would not be here today! We need to honor all of our servicemen/women and veterans, letting them know we recognoze their sacrifices... they deserve our support. Wonderful words, Vivian.

We treat our veterans badly for the most part. We have gone from spitting on them in the sixties to ignoring them from the top of the chain of command down.
