      With proud thanksgiving, a mother for her children,
      England mourns for her dead across the sea.
      Flesh of her flesh they were, spirit of her spirit,
      Fallen in the cause of the free.
      Solemn the drums thrill; Death august and royal
      Sings sorrow up into immortal spheres,
      There is music in the midst of desolation
      And a glory that shines upon our tears.
      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.
      They mingle not with their laughing comrades again;
      They sit no more at familiar tables of home;
      They have no lot in our labour of the day-time;
      They sleep beyond England's foam.
      But where our desires are and our hopes profound,
      Felt as a well-spring that is hidden from sight,
      To the innermost heart of their own land they are known
      As the stars are known to the Night;
      As the stars that shall be bright when we are dust,
      Moving in marches upon the heavenly plain;
      As the stars that are starry in the time of our darkness,
      To the end, to the end, they remain.

      Everyone who goes to war is wounded, one way or another.. Some die in war but don't know it.. they come home and die again by their own hand.. A WWII infantryman lived next door to me when I was a kid.. When he was about 45 or so, he killed himself.. He never ate chicken.. I asked him one time why not- stupid kids ask adults about such things. He told me while in Europe, he saw chickens peck the eyes out of dead men and he swore he'd never eat chicken again.. Every soldier is wounded, regardless of army..

    “Today the word "hero" has been diminished. confused with "celebrity." But in my father's generation the word meant something.
    celebrities seek fame. They take actions to get attention. Most often, the actions they take have no particular moral content. Heroes are heroes because they have risked something to help others. Their actions involve courage. Often, those heroes have been indifferent to the public's attention. But at least, the hero could understand the focus of the emotion.”

      I always thought that the meaning of the word hero is that someone who saves a life without thinking of any rewards for doing the right things. Men who sacrificed their lives for a greater cause is, in my book, is the real meaning of being a hero, not the men who played sports. To all who serves and protect our country and to all who wears the uniforms of the military community, on behalf of the astronomical community, THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE.

      Today if you get into trouble, you get publically or privately disgraced and quite possibly fired, quite the contrary in years past if you crossed the line or stood up to something - you got killed, maybe very slowly and so did those of your family and maybe village. Bravery today is measured by going along with popular trends for which no price is to be paid and for which no failure is conferred. Lord Gordon put it all on the line and he was rewarded with a terrible death, mutilitation and a mere footnote in the history books, today a forgotten hero who took no gold for his victories.

    • @edmundcharles5278

      True, just about every man in my neighborhood served in WW II and none of them ever spoke of 'heroic actions' or bloody gore, they knew that even the toughest man could be killed in combat circumstance by a 15 cent bullet that had his name on it! No, they considered the dead and gravely wounded heroes and of themselves as being lucky survivors!

    The beauty of this song should not only invoke praise, but a call to be higher and better than we are today. The part of the world that is free is threatened quite deeply by the part of it that is dark, and unless a new generation of heroes arises, songs like this will do nothing more than hail a forgotten memory. Memories of historical heroism are not meant to be nice pretty sentimental recollections we can all dreamily wish the world would return to. No. Those memories are preserved as a call to duty, honor, and country for every civilian that are recollected in history by force rather than by choice only when people of their own free will choose to forget them.

    Every year there are two series that I watch at about this time....November. "Band of Brothers" and "The Pacific" I NEVER want to forget the sacrifices that the "Greatest Generation" made for the rest of us still living. My dad, God rest his soul, was a WWII Marine that served in the Island Campaign to defeat Japan. My family's long-gone best friend went ashore with the Army during the Normandy Campaign during WWII and fought all the way to Germany. God rest his soul. Growing up in the late 1950s through the 2000s these were my friends, the Greatest Generation. I learned so much from them. I relished their stories from the war and from the Great Depression. My last friend from that generation passed in 2016. Most of that generation has left us now. I feel so all alone and sad. God bless you and thank you..............

      You don't honor those who have fought for freedom from oppression by fighting for a crooked, corrupt, God-hating organization like the UN. You think you're honoring those who have fallen when in truth you're working for the same type of men who cause those men to fall in the first place. Piss on your UN- we fight for the history and sovereignty of individual nations and this is how we honor those who died to defend that. Are you an American by chance? Man I hope you're not. I'd be embarrassed to see a US citizen proudly fighting for an anti-American international body like the UN. Good luck, champ. May Christ Jesus keep and bless you

    I always felt that the heroes were not the guys who got the parades, like Eisenhower, MacArthur. They were, after all, career soldiers whose job was to fight wars. And, in some cases, never heard a shot fired in anger. The heroes are the guys who didn't want to be there but did it anyway. Some were good soldiers, some probably not so good, but they were there when it counted.

    No matter the nationality of the soldier, it be German or Polish, American or Japanese, British or Italian, Russian or Hungarian, Romanian, Greek, French or any other during WWII, every soldier had only one goal in mind. TO serve their country. And no matter the nationality of the soldier, each soldier did his job every well, to defend and serve their country. Each soldiers of each nation did that to the best of his abiliities I think we can all agree.

      USSR was a beast. They lost 22 million people, but killed te same. Not only the Germans, but also Poles. Stalin and his government were killing also Russian people. We should thank the heroes, but they are not on the side of the Soviets. If you want to know more about the Soviets read about it what they did in Katyn, Kharkov, Starobilsk etc. Read about the murders on AK (Armia Krajowa) soldiers, who were under the Polish government-in-exile which is the most faithful allies of the U.S., Britain and France. Do not read russian sources, because they are full of pro-Soviet propaganda.

    I still go back and look at some of the nice tribute videos to the different men of easy company that have passed on now, and also to see other stories from the wars morbid i know but the stories them self are not morbid in anyway they show a love for their fellow soldiers and that they are indeed a band of brothers.

      In the final analysis, every world despot in history has risen on the backs of the masses, whether this support be either active or passive matters not! My great surprise is that after every war, the defeated nation's populace does not rise up to hold into account those national leaders responsible for the war failures. WWI (The Great War) is a prime example of the populaces of Great Britain and France giving their war leaders a 'pass' on losing all the lives during the war and in 20 years WW II started as a result of the poor end of WW I. Go figure!
