Oh well, I do like this one, those are the colours the Dutch flag. Thanks, I feel at home now (giggle, as if Passions is not my home!) Beautiful poem. Titia A rose is a rose is a rose...I guess... |

D-day was in June so many lives lost that day defending freedom proud flag paid for with young souls proudly flying high represents our way of life patriotism scorned by some this day and age should never become passe [This message has been edited by Interloper (edited 06-06-2001).] |

So shouls all recall those bloody beaches deaths howl the only sound deaths screams Normandy Utah Gold Juno Sword beaches all walked in historys blood Sand hallowed sand where freedom to life homelands in blood sacrifice Lest we forget nine thousand graves overlook beach bought with lifes hope dreams *************************************** NEVER FORGET "In daring to dream, offering life,I am sentenced to life as a Deadman walking. Such ends all Love given." [This message has been edited by Just A Man (edited 06-06-2001).] |

Awww.....i just watched Enemy of the Gates and thought that the enormous burden that these war veterans undertook in protecting their nation should never go underappreciated.... enjoyed  |

so many places, so much pain, so much fear, so much rejoicing, so much honor under that symbol of what we have...gentle smile |

the poem saddens me although I'm not sure if that's its main purpose... if I find the past unhappy, will I not try even harder to forget the past? I suppose it's an issue about social conscience acceptance. |

Yes, back in the days when enlisted men had, even if it was war time and the motivation was to honor and protect. [This message has been edited by VAS (edited 06-07-2001).] |
