Excellent but sad clip!

What an appalling mishandling of the case by her congressman and the authorities. He needs his backside kicked.

Thanks for that link, Meanz.

Thank you for posting, I have something in my eye too....

I agree mate, how sad!

Oh and by the way. Time to contemplate during the next "March" !

Back in the 80's I worked in North Africa mostly in Egypt, for British Leyland. I went on a trip in my "now" old leafer to El Alamein, the battlefield and surrounding area even afterwards following the route of Alexander the Great.

Walking about in the cemetary I was gob smacked at the number of fallen soldiers of Australia & New Zealand, plus those of the Scots Grays. Average age was about 20/21, some were just out of boyhood really at 19.
Makes you think and ponder about their families too !
Cheers Dennis

It is of considerable satisfaction to me to see the number of people who still remember the sacrifices of our fallen. It is equally a shame the number of the younger generation and recent arrivals who seem to care so little.

Agreed Sir. As time marches on, the remembrance is lost sadly...
