For Remembrance day
The following was apparently written by a 14 year old boy asked to produce a Remembrance Day poem as a school writing project.

One Thousand Men Are Walking
One thousand men are walking
Walking side by side
Singing songs from home
The spirit as their guide
they walk toward the light milord
they walk towards the sun
they smoke and laugh and smile together
no foes to outrun
these men live on forever
in the hearts of those they saved
a nation truly grateful
for the path of peace they paved
they march as friends and comrades
but they do not march for war
step closer to salvation
a tranquil steady corps
the meadows lit with golden beams
a beacon for the brave
the emerald grass untrampled
a reward for what they gave
they dream of those they left behind
and know they dream of them
forever in those poppy fields
there walks one thousand men

Despite the bad press they often get, there’s not a lot wrong with the younger generations.

I saw this elsewhere , Way, it is very good…Thank you
No Way, you are right about bad press. Instead of teaching our young to love, showed them how to hate based on example. Instead of teaching kindness and truth, morals and honor, we instead provided them with examples of greed and lies.
My question now is what will this generation teach their children?
I enjoyed that very much, Way. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Love it
Wonderful!
Forever grateful to these young men…..
This was wonderful.
