Remembrance Day — Lest We Forget.

While I am opposed to war, I recog­nise the bru­tal real­it­ies which require the use of force. I don’t like it and abhor those people who see force as a solu­tion. I sup­port all peace­ful efforts to resolve differences.

Today is a day to remem­ber the sac­ri­fice of those who have died, suffered injury or have been to war. We do not remem­ber the why, or the right­ness of the pur­pose, or the event that led our politi­cians to com­mit such acts. We remem­ber the bravery and hon­our of those who fought in my name.

Ode of Remembrance

They went with songs to the battle, they were young.
Straight of limb, true of eyes, 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.

LEST WE FORGET
