My Dad, came home, but he was never the same....! He came home to a young wife and a little girl, but his soul died out there and therefore we never had a chance of being a family as he could not cope with a normal life. What did he do it for? Our beloved Country has fallen pray to "I am owed, it is my land" but oh my dear where have you shed blood, tears and sweat? Our fathers believed in our Country and they have lost everything to defend it. God hear our cries as I am a boere girl and this is my country too.
I deeply respect and fully understand your pain! We too, Portuguese people born and raised in Angola, have truly sacrificed for the Country we had built from scratch... and ended up losing everything! We were also betrayed by the "Collective West", that allowed a kleptocratic communist regime to seize Power in Angola, in 1975... Thousands of Portuguese soldiers & civilians have lost their lives... literally for nothing! The war is over, but the deep scars still remain... Groete!
I salute you, I fought 6 years there, saw death and destruction, death, suicides but please don't give up, we died to bring peace, You are special and stay strong, We will never forget, Thank you for your brave comment.

A great song, My Husband is a bush war veteran 84/85 8SAI. To the youngsters out there Namibia to you is just another country but to our generation it was a war, and we fought well. We were to focused on what was going on over there, our backs were presented to the real enemy, our own politicians. While patting us on the back for a job well done they were actually looking for a place to stick the knife.
to my great friend who died in service to his country in Dec 1989. I listen to this song everyday and will always honour your memory and your fellow fallen soldiers. Rob, we were young and carefree then. Remember u always. Thanks to Bok van Blerk for helping the younger generation to remeber what their fathers fought for. In some quarters you will never be the forgotten war.
Will forever be proud to call myself a white South African, a boor. Salute to the SA boys and the Rhodesians that fought these last wars. It's thanks to your sacrifices that we can still stand tall. Bok van Blerk really captures the moment with this song. Well gedaan Bok.
My dad fought in this war, and lost one of his friends right next to him. He never talks about what happened there. I will forever be proud of him. Thank you for giving us insight to what our fathers did to try to ensure good lives for us.
I'm from the United States, where honoring our fighting countrymen is extremely revered, and listening to this while reading its lyrics brought me to tears. So many men fought for their lives and their nation only to be treated like shit to this day from even their own government.
they were not fighting for their nation. this were racist whites that were fighting to keep Namibia as a south African province, they introduced a system of racial segregation(apartheid) where blacks were to walk around their own country with passports, blacks could not marry with whites, blacks were not allowed to go to the same schools with whites, black could not buy white bread, blacks could not leave in the same suburbs with whites, they could not seat on the same bench with whites this and many caused a continuation of black uprise in Namibia and South Africa which in Namibia it started in 1904 to 1989. the battle between a racist SADF/police and the People's Liberation Army of Namibia (PLAN) was launch in 1966 inside Namibia. There is nothing to celebrate here for SADF coz what were they fighting for? they should be embarrassed coz they got nothing from that war, they just wasted their resources and men in the end Namibia remained with Namibians..
@@markuscrause8762 I am giving the world the other side of the story. the mistake Boers and pappets did was to illegally enter Angola apparently looking for SWAPO combatants there u met 3 forces, Cuba, MPLA and SWAPO the journey was long coz time and again you had to go back to refuel. the locals rejected you, the 3 forces defeated you which you will never agree to. today you leave among us becoz we say lets forgive and leave together but you still leave with that shame, regret and fear of the another black uprising. Imagine a small Afrikaner asking "daddy why were you racist and why were you refusing the majority blacks in Namibia and South Africa" self determination. how will you answer that?
WombatKnul Their government funded the ANC in the 80's when they were a terrorist organisation and planting bombs here. I'm fine with a Fleming calling me 'brother', even if I don't like them. But I'll be damned if a low Dutch slime do the same. Oh and I'll write to you in Afrikaans if and only if you are Flemish, never will I debase the language with a Dutchman.

@@michaelave2149 Janusz Walus is not a NAZI. He is a hero who saved SA from communism. His brave behavior was probably one of the most important events in SA history .Janusz Walus is nie 'n NAZI nie. Hy is 'n held wat SA van kommunisme gered het. Sy dapper optrede was waarskynlik een van die belangrikste gebeure in die SA geskiedenis. Janusz Walus nie jest NAZI. Jest bohaterem, który uratował SA przed komunizmem. Jego odważne zachowanie było prawdopodobnie jednym z najważniejszych wydarzeń w historii SA.
The AWB was not really a nazi organization. It is explained by Terre'Blanche in one interview that many people may think that the symbol is similar to the swastika, but it is in fact a christian symbol, not a nazi symbol. Waluś był bohaterem dlatego, bo zabił komunistę - naturalna kolej rzeczy. Nie jest idealnym czlowiekiem, ale zabil komuniste i to tak waznego, wiec no duzo dobrego zrobil. TRANSLATED INTO ENGLISH: Walus is a hero, because he killed a communist - its obvious. He may have not been the ideal human being, but at least he killed an important communist, so he has done much good.

So is my grandpa Dutch canadian i am also 100% behind the boers the British and the world coward into political correctness and ruined a beautiful country just like the British did in Rhodesia 😊
The most powerful armed forces in the world at that stage, brings tears to my eyes every time. We were a superpower, a first world country and now we are a joke.
I'm Xhosa, 20 years old. There could have been an alternative solution to apartheid rather than the one we know. I believe I could have grown up in an amazing nation❤🇿🇦
Indeed, my people were so very committed to our black brothers ... our nation ... and yet St. Mandela was selected by the World Economic Forum for the plunder of our nation .. so I fought ... signed up with Gen. Viljoen for the coup that never came .. and then just left South Africa never to return. Sad beyond words.
Yes friend you are right.Propaganda,lies , power and control.Using the past as a narrative to hate.Afrikaners made that mistake and now ANC etc are doing exactly the same.New methods better deception tactics same old story.Born a white in apartheid and became adult during freedom I've seen all the similar patterns.We the people are always the losers.
I am in the SANDF. This comes from a time when people were still prepared to go to war for our country. Can we say the same now? My dad fought here. The stories he told me was so sad. Friends that got killed. This song makes me so sad. RESPECT
IT MAKES ME SAD. IT MAKES US ALL SAD, BUT GUESS WHAT. OUR LORD GOD HAS RISEN US BACK TO THE EARTH. THIS TIME ITS CALLED YEAR1, BUT NOT EARTH NOMORE. IT HAS A EVERY LASTING NAME CALLED HEAVEN
My dad also fought in the war, had alot of friends killed. Told me many sad stories. Saddest was he becameban alcoholic. I think the pain of his upbringing plus the war was too much for him to handle.
I miss my country, I want it back. Uit die blou van onse hemel, uit die diepte van ons see, Oor ons ewige gebergtes waar die kranse antwoord gee, Deur ons ver-verlate vlaktes met die kreun van ossewa - Ruis die stem van ons geliefde, van ons land Suid-Afrika. Ons sal antwoord op jou roepstem, ons sal offer wat jy vra: Ons sal lewe, ons sal sterwe - ons vir jou, Suid-Afrika.
Ek sit en wonder waarvoor ons pale so hard baklei het? Vandag is ons jong seuns nie eers skaduwees van ons oupas en pa's nie. Ek ken nog die stem en sing hom soms vir myself. Ek mis dit so om hom te sing. Die jong generasie weet nie eers wat is ge offer vir hulle nie.
Soos duisende ander van my broers het ek ook geantwoord op haar roepstem en was bereid om te offer - sou sy my daaroor gevra het. Gelukkig na diens in Angola ( Hooper en Packer ) kon ek in een stuk my diensplig voltooi. Trots dat ek daar was. We were the best of the best.....
Hi I am south african too very proud to be I am living in portugal & I left south africa 13 years ago its so good to hear follows south africans singers english or afrikanns so good to our music make us feel at home
26 year old English man - my heart is with the Boer - i imagine i'll receive abit of flak due to the history but never the less it is true - i am currently saving up for a trip to SA would love to do abit of work on a farm and get to know some true Afrikaners.
BenJ747 I've only met one guy on a night out in my home town from SA after bringing up the Boers and a few current issues he insisted on buying me a drink as i was the 'first' person who he's met who even knew history/current affairs - i've never been to SA but i'm saving up currently - can you recommned a place to visit that is more in line with our way of thinking in regards to respect for the Boers/Afrikaaners etc but still a steady nightlife or a few bars? Thanks in advance - apologies about spelling etc in a rush.
its funny how many wars white South Africans fought for this country... but its all forgotten, my dad was here, at the age of 16... remember him having nightmares about this.
@jimboclinton I am in Australia now . Did Nasional service in 83 - 84 and fought Ops Hooper / Packer in Angola in 88. RPU artillery. We kicked ass even though we were outweighed 5+ to- 1 . I thank the Lord I made it back in one piece with most of my fellow soldiers. To my brothers who did not go back home. We salute you. Everytime i look at the video tears appear but thats natural.
This video brings back many memories. Some good, some NOT so good. I lost good friends in "The Forgotten War" . We did what we had to (& what we were told to do) . I feel pity for those that judge the "troepies" but yet have no idea what really happened on the border. I was one of the lucky ones that came back too "the states". Well at least my body came back. My heart & mind is still with my fallen brothers. My mother has always said that she sent one son to war and got another back.
Never surrender. I hope someday You will est. your independent Boer or Boer/Afrikaaner State. Greetings from Poland. Ps.: For me, Afrkaans is the most beautiful language in the world.
What about the Englishmen and all the others that fought there??? Same colour blood boet. I even know an ex Recce Jew. So lets remember all the nationalities that fought and died there!!!
De groeten uit Vlaanderen, beste Afrikaners ! Weet dat de songs van Van Blerk ook hier in het verre Noorden kunnen beroeren. Afrikaners, Nederlanders, Vlamingen, we hebben dezelfde voorouders en delen dezelfde taal. Wij alleen spreken die taal !
Ons het dit met trots en toewyding en geloof gedoen vir ons kinders en mede Suid Afrikaners , om hierdie pragtige Land na al dit te sien hoe dit vernietig word deur n regering wat steel en Moor en korrup is ,net God kan hierdie volk red
@@jettawayadventures1081 I am half anglo and half Afrikaans we fought together in the Grensoorlog didn't we? or at least Anglo-South Africans and Afrikaners fought together in the "grensoorlog"
+sean brown - Many English speaking SA's proudly fought for their country '66-'89, in all arms of service. Many made the ultimate sacrifice. We few, we happy few, we band of brothers; For he today that sheds his blood with me Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile, This day shall gentle his condition...
While some Afrikaners use the word 'Boer' to give an unique identity to themselves - a similar word for English-speaking SA's may be 'Pioneer' (in the mould of Frederick Selous, Arthur Neumann and many others).
Dankie aan almal wat hier op ons grens gestaan het. Julle het ons land gered. Van SWA na Namibië, maar die bloed en sweet het beteken dat ons nie nou noord korea is nie. Dankie ook aan Pa en my Ooms.
I cried when the first listenning this song, although didn't understand lyric but the music is so heroics and full of proud. Always respect your courage and justice. From Vietnam.
So Sad... Waarvoor was dit alles.. Daarom bly die songs so naby my hart... Lewens bittersoet.. Dankie vir die songs wat jy sing. Iemand moet onthou sodat ons onthou en nie vergeet nie, niks is verniet nie. AL is dit verlore. 💕
Lyrics: Tussen bosse en bome Tussen grense wag ons almal vir more Maar op agtien was ons almal verlore Hoe kan ons verstaan En wie weeg nou ons lewe Want net God alleen weet waarvoor ons bewe Want op agtien wou ons almal net lewe Net een slag toe was jou lewe verby Roep jy na my Roep jy my terug na die Kaplyn my vriend Deur die jare het die wêreld gedraai Toe ons jonk was hoe sou ons dit kon raai Soek jy na my Soek jy my nou in die stof en jou bloed Jy't gesê jy hoor hoe God na jou roep Toe's dit als verby... Na al hierdie jare Ver verlore dryf ons rond in ons dade Net soldate leef met grense se skade Hoe kan ons verstaan Want daai bos vreet ons spore In die donker bos was broeders gebore In die donker saam gebid vir die more Net een slag toe was jou lewe verby Roep jy na my Roep jy my terug na die Kaplyn my vriend Deur die jare her die wêreld gedraai Toe ons jonk was hoe sou ons dit kon raai Waar is jy nou Is jou naam dan op ons mure behou Jy was nooit vereer en niemand gaan nou Oor jou lewe skryf en wat jy nog wou... En by daai muur Staan ek vir ure Maar waar's jou naam nou my vriend Kan hull nie verstaan... Jong soldate vergaan... Sonder rede dra hulle die blaam...
I was a neighbour to a Russian employee at the Russian embassy in Pretoria in the middle 90's. I was invited to party once. One of his Russian friends approached me and told me that the SADF had the best special forces in the word - His brother had been a military advisor in Angola
Great song, Bok, old son - takes me back to the days - vuurvertonings at Ondangwa, klaarstaan at Eenhana and driving on Oom Willie se pad in a Kwevoel after the marines had swept the road. We, the boys and girls of my generation, we did our duty and we paid a price. FW de Klerk did not do his duty and he's paid no price. Honour and glory to the lads who paid the ultimate price. We remember you and we are eternally grateful. God bless you.
Frederic de Klerk was a Coward and many others in the Government.They did`nt care about the Cause of Southafrica.From a First World Country SA became a Third World Country.So sad.I never want to forget.
Afrikaners are the best mates a man could have. Their loyal to a fault, proud, tough and family orientated. If shit hits the fan in SA, you've got one to fly over for the cause. Long love the Boer
My dad was in this war. He lost many friends and never wanted to talk about it. Yesterday he lost his life holding on to the memories of all those he held dear, his brothers in arms included. Rip dad
Ek het die grootse respek vir ons soldate wat hul lewens al daardie jare terug vir Suid-Afrika neergelê het. Dis jammer dat baie Suid-Afrikaners deesdae hulle as bose mans beskryf.
Takes me back - makes remember how proud I was of the guys who stood and fell beside me. Best 2 years of my life and in some ways the worst - We will never forget the sacrifice our country asked of us and we rose to the challenge 2 SAI - '87-'88
Die lied raak n mens se hart se snare. My Pa was 40 jaar in die weermag. Ons was klein gewees daai tyd en dankie vir die Hemelse Vader dat my Pa altyd terug huis toe gekom het van die grens. Ander families was nie so gelukkig. Ek en my broers het nooit vrae gevra oor daai dae, tot vandag respek ons dit! Ons was hard groot gemaak! soos 3 loots het my Pa ons gemold. Dankie Pa vir wat jy gedoen het vir ons en ons land jy is n Yster in ons hart!!!
EX UNITATE VIRES (1995) My Afrikaner Nation, my mother-tongue - Why in shame our heads now hung? We still have our pride but no place of safety to reside. My people, my country, my Language .... 1 "Eendrag maak mag" we pray with anguish.
Dis 'n baie mooi song en ter selle tyd hartseer om te dink mense het hul lewens verloor en dit alles verniet! My pa was een van daardie mense wat so hart baklei het, en dit maak my trots voel om 'n afrikaner te wees. Dank die Here sy lewe was gespaar vir ons.
No matter what the politics of the day, these boys remind me of the lads I joined up with. Risking their lives to protect their homes, their loved ones, and the stability, freedom and security of their nation. Rest easy boys, god bless.
Even though I'm half Boer(yes I know I could just say South African) I'm so proud to have South Africa in my blood my father and all his 4 brothers fought in this war and I'm truly disappointed this war is mostly forgotten to the world. Ak is a Boere.
6 men D company 1 parachute battalion died ops firewood, RIP all, two of them from Pinetown just outside durban, hughes de rose, and raymond light both only 21, gutted !! Big Respect
Politics aside Big Respect to the Boers and Afrikaners. Like the Israelis or Filipinos they were fighting for the right to exist as a state. Boers were brilliant guerilla fighters. You gave the "Khakis" a bloody nose during the Boer War. God bless them.
Super Krachtig & Sterk nummer!! Zeer Herkenbaar en toepasbaar voor alle Wapenbroeders ter wereld die een kameraad verloren hebben in de strijd/oorlog en die nu rusten op het veld van eer... maar die wij niet vergeten zijn!

Dit is so hartseer . Terwyl ander gesterf het , kon die meerderheid in vrede lewe . Geen plaasmoord , geen hi-jacking . Strate vreedsaam en veilig na donker sodat jy kon winkelvensters kyk saam met jou vrou en kinders. Dit was nie verniet of onnodig nie !! SALUUT !
Greetings from England. This is a fantastic song and an excellent video. The SADF was outstanding and it is pleasing that so many people around the world are interested in the exploits of the former South African armed forces. It is interesting that the video shows the tombstone of a soldier whose first language was English, and the tombstone of another soldier whose mother-tongue was Afrikaans. I admire the Dutch (they have always been good fighters) but many white South Africans who fought in the SADF were descended from other European settlers as well. For instance, a large number of Germans emigrated to South Africa. Moreover, many white South Africans are of British or French ancestry and there is also a sizeable Portuguese element too.
Yes, but the people mostly are called Afrikaners. The boervolk don't like the english much so you won't see many english descent. German, french, dutch are the main heritage of the folk. English kept one side. At armslength
lest we forget. My brothers were all involved, I was too young. To any vets reading, you did your job. You all kept communism away and I think that was our main objective. Much of the bush war wasn't about the ANC or Apartheid, it was about keeping communism out. For that, I will always be forever indebted to you young boys out there. I have absolute love for all of you and I'll make sure that my kids will know. Dankie Julle. South Africa is a worse place without you all, you brave boys. Love: The Soutie
Author: Thanks for posting, wonderful archive video footage there. After living in New Zealand and seeing how they remember their fallen, it makes me sad how our soldiers' efforts are not better recognised. I take my hat off to people who served in the SADF/SAP, you probably didn't want to be there but you trained and became soldiers / policeman that were respected for their professionalism worldwide and kept people like me, safe in my bed. Your efforts will not be forgotten.
sjoe,dit maak my sommer emosioneel, ek is regtig dankbaar vir al die ooms wat ek verloor het as gevolg van die oorlog. Sowel as die wat nog met ons is.

My dad was an ‘engelsman’ he fought in this war, him, two other blokes, a translated and a tracking dog, dog had to be helicoptered out after two weeks as the sand burnt his paws. Thank F he survived or I would be here today! Very true it is forgotten
Le guerre si vincono e si perdono,talvolta indipendentemente dal valore di chi le combatte.Cio' che conta e' combatterle con onore.Questi ragazzi,nostri coetanei,lo hanno fatto.Loro e i loro cari devono esserne fieri per sempre.Non manco' il valore,ma la fortuna.
ons het toe n weermag nodig gehad. Wie is ons vyand nou? Ons weermag was toe al nie so kragtig nie, ons wapens was oeragtig teenoor ander lande en ons het verloor teen n paar kinders met ak's wat kaal in die bosse rondhardloop. Tog dink ek moet niemand die mense wat oorlede is in die oorlog vergeet nie.
Dankie! Maak dit nie makliker nie, maar ek verstaan. Kyk na my familie daar, hoe hulle sukkel. Hier is ek darem in die kerk besig, Afrikaanse pastoor en Afrikaanse ledemate. Maar my hart le nog steeds in die Vrystaatse vlaktes en die Kaapse berge!
Somehow I feel this is the South African version of "Born in the USA", the story of young men that were taken away from their youth to fight in an impossible war to end up being forgotten and treated badly by their own countrymen.

How you became a Boer?
@@muamermalik781 Hi Muanmar. You are right. I was born in Prague. My parents emigrated to South Africa during the time of the Russian occupation. I served my 2 year compulsory military service in South Africa, during the time when a war was being fought along 'my country's' borders.
Good morning..
I am from Sarajevo, suffred the longest SIEGES IN THE Human history, type Sarajevo 1992/1995...reasearcher more about Battle for Vukovar 1991 and gravery of tanks..
You can t imagine what we suffered.
Is still active Yugoslav community there among Boers, Durban and inland of South Africa???

I love the polish, Janusz Walus is also a big HERO
Vir my is hy 'n ware held wat 'n groot prys betaal het om sy land teen die rooi bliksems te verdedig
@@mrthiem1627 No,Walus was a nazis ,murder
brought the poles shame
@@michaelave2149 Janusz Walus is not a NAZI. He is a hero who saved SA from communism. His brave behavior was probably one of the most important events in SA history
.Janusz Walus is nie 'n NAZI nie. Hy is 'n held wat SA van kommunisme gered het. Sy dapper optrede was waarskynlik een van die belangrikste gebeure in die SA geskiedenis.
Janusz Walus nie jest NAZI. Jest bohaterem, który uratował SA przed komunizmem. Jego odważne zachowanie było prawdopodobnie jednym z najważniejszych wydarzeń w historii SA.
The AWB was not really a nazi organization. It is explained by Terre'Blanche in one interview that many people may think that the symbol is similar to the swastika, but it is in fact a christian symbol, not a nazi symbol.
Waluś był bohaterem dlatego, bo zabił komunistę - naturalna kolej rzeczy. Nie jest idealnym czlowiekiem, ale zabil komuniste i to tak waznego, wiec no duzo dobrego zrobil. TRANSLATED INTO ENGLISH:
Walus is a hero, because he killed a communist - its obvious. He may have not been the ideal human being, but at least he killed an important communist, so he has done much good.

No flak from me, it's not often that I've encountered a Brit that actually acknowledges the history aspect of our shared past.

@jimboclinton I am in Australia now . Did Nasional service in 83 - 84 and fought Ops Hooper / Packer in Angola in 88. RPU artillery. We kicked ass even though we were outweighed 5+ to- 1 . I thank the Lord I made it back in one piece with most of my fellow soldiers. To my brothers who did not go back home. We salute you. Everytime i look at the video tears appear but thats natural.
This video brings back many memories. Some good, some NOT so good. I lost good friends in "The Forgotten War" . We did what we had to (& what we were told to do) . I feel pity for those that judge the "troepies" but yet have no idea what really happened on the border. I was one of the lucky ones that came back too "the states". Well at least my body came back. My heart & mind is still with my fallen brothers. My mother has always said that she sent one son to war and got another back.

Lyrics:
Tussen bosse en bome
Tussen grense wag ons almal vir more
Maar op agtien was ons almal verlore
Hoe kan ons verstaan
En wie weeg nou ons lewe
Want net God alleen weet waarvoor ons bewe
Want op agtien wou ons almal net lewe
Net een slag toe was jou lewe verby
Roep jy na my
Roep jy my terug na die Kaplyn my vriend
Deur die jare het die wêreld gedraai
Toe ons jonk was hoe sou ons dit kon raai
Soek jy na my
Soek jy my nou in die stof en jou bloed
Jy't gesê jy hoor hoe God na jou roep
Toe's dit als verby...
Na al hierdie jare
Ver verlore dryf ons rond in ons dade
Net soldate leef met grense se skade
Hoe kan ons verstaan
Want daai bos vreet ons spore
In die donker bos was broeders gebore
In die donker saam gebid vir die more
Net een slag toe was jou lewe verby
Roep jy na my
Roep jy my terug na die Kaplyn my vriend
Deur die jare her die wêreld gedraai
Toe ons jonk was hoe sou ons dit kon raai
Waar is jy nou
Is jou naam dan op ons mure behou
Jy was nooit vereer en niemand gaan nou
Oor jou lewe skryf en wat jy nog wou...
En by daai muur
Staan ek vir ure
Maar waar's jou naam nou my vriend
Kan hull nie verstaan...
Jong soldate vergaan...
Sonder rede dra hulle die blaam...
I was a neighbour to a Russian employee at the Russian embassy in Pretoria in the middle 90's. I was invited to party once. One of his Russian friends approached me and told me that the SADF had the best special forces in the word - His brother had been a military advisor in Angola

Great song, Bok, old son - takes me back to the days - vuurvertonings at Ondangwa, klaarstaan at Eenhana and driving on Oom Willie se pad in a Kwevoel after the marines had swept the road. We, the boys and girls of my generation, we did our duty and we paid a price. FW de Klerk did not do his duty and he's paid no price. Honour and glory to the lads who paid the ultimate price. We remember you and we are eternally grateful. God bless you.

Greetings from England. This is a fantastic song and an excellent video. The SADF was outstanding and it is pleasing that so many people around the world are interested in the exploits of the former South African armed forces.
It is interesting that the video shows the tombstone of a soldier whose first language was English, and the tombstone of another soldier whose mother-tongue was Afrikaans. I admire the Dutch (they have always been good fighters) but many white South Africans who fought in the SADF were descended from other European settlers as well. For instance, a large number of Germans emigrated to South Africa. Moreover, many white South Africans are of British or French ancestry and there is also a sizeable Portuguese element too.
Yes, but the people mostly are called Afrikaners. The boervolk don't like the english much so you won't see many english descent. German, french, dutch are the main heritage of the folk. English kept one side. At armslength
my dad was there as a soldier he passed away a few years ago and i am proud of him being in the war fighting for our country.
DAD. IN JESUS NAME YOU WILL RISE
lest we forget.
My brothers were all involved, I was too young. To any vets reading, you did your job. You all kept communism away and I think that was our main objective. Much of the bush war wasn't about the ANC or Apartheid, it was about keeping communism out. For that, I will always be forever indebted to you young boys out there. I have absolute love for all of you and I'll make sure that my kids will know. Dankie Julle.
South Africa is a worse place without you all, you brave boys.
