Re: [Serious] Rememberance Day - A Pittance of Time My mom told me this story years ago, but I think it really shows the truth to life.
In her younger years had a customer at a job, who became a friend. This man was formally a German soldier during WWII, and feeling he was friendly enough with my mom, let her know of his past.
When my mom learned this she refused to talk to the man. It wasn't until he explained the full story she understood. He was merely coming to help his country, and when he was in battle suffered like many soldiers. Like her father (my grandpa), the man had to do what was best for his family, even if it meant death.
I think it's very important to understand, regardless of the nationality or the side your on, win or loose, war causes men to loose a big chunk of who they are.
I know we come away from the great wars with freedom and we need to cherish it.
Btw, I appreciate the posting. I enjoy watching that around Rememberance day |
