SOS - Support Our Soldiers

for those who gave their all their bravery and courage lives on

If you'd like to send a poem or tribute we'd be honoured to include it here 'Remember Us' Submitted by Marie The young dead soldiers do not speak. Nevertheless, they are heard in the still houses: who has not heard them? They have a silence that speaks for them at night and when the clock counts. They say: We were young. We have died. Remember us. They say: We have done what we could but until it is finished it is not done. They say: We have given our lives but until it is finished no one can know what our lives gave. They say: Our deaths are not ours: they are yours, they will mean what you make them. They say: Whether our lives and our deaths were for peace and a new hope or for nothing we cannot say, it is you who must say this. We leave you our deaths. Give them their meaning. We were young, they say. We have died; remember us. by Archibald MacLeish, 1892-1982, American Poet 'Forever' written by David Godfrey in memory of his grandson Rifleman Daniel Lee Coffey Died 27th February 2007 Forever I'll walk in my garden Seek solace in the cool of its shade Forever I'll walk in my Garden Tis all the good Lord has made. Forever I'll walk in my garden Sowing seeds of kindness and trust Forever I'll walk in my garden I love you forever, I must. Forever I'll walk in my Garden Filled with flowers of beauty to share Watered with tears of kindness to blossom forth with GODS tender care. Dont cry in your heart for I'm gone now My spirit with you I shall leave Think of me as you walk in my garden For tis you that have filled all my needs. 'The Life That I Have' Submitted by Ros The life that I have Is all that I have And the life that I have Is yours The love that I have Of the life that I have Is yours and yours and yours. A sleep I shall have A rest I shall have Yet death will be but a pause For the peace of my years In the long green grass Will be yours and yours and yours. Leo Marks 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... Laurence Binyon When You Go Home, Tell Them Of Us And Say, For Their Tomorrow, We Gave Our Today For the people in Iraq all of our brave lads did, and it should be important that their young children know that. Exemplo Ducemus (By example we lead) Craig Badley Royal Military Police 'To Six friends' When I see a red hat above the crowd, I think, to be one of you, I''m proud, For little reward you work so hard, Your uniform always tidy and smart, You are always prepared to follow a call, To keep the peace for one and all, Away from home in another land, I can turn to you for a helping hand, Your justice is fair, your advice is free, What should we do without RMP, Your cap badge shall unite us all, Together we stand, Together we fall. To HJ, Si, Paul, Russ, Ben,Tom RIP from Des RMP Hohne Submitted by Natalie in memory of Lance Corporal James Cartwright Died 16th June 2007 It broke ourhearts to lose you, But you did not go alone. A part of us went with you, The day God took you home. A million times we'll miss you. A million times we'll cry. If love could have saved you, You never would have died. Now to your grave we travel The flowers are placed with care. No one knows the heart ache, As we turn and leave you there. No fare wells were spoken, No time to say good-bye. You were gone before we knew it, And only God Knows why. If tears could bulid a stairway, And heartaches make a lane, we'd walk the path to heaven, And bring you back again. Always As the sun starts to rise, I'm with you When you hear a bird sing, I'm there For each raindrop that falls, think of me And the love that we'll always share In the rush of the wind feel my touch In the quiet of night hear my voice If you start to stumble take my hand And know that it was my choice When tears start to fall feel my comfort If you feel low share my pride Don't ever think that you've lost me For I will always be there by your side Copyright K. Webster 2003 Ode to a Military Man The average age of the military man is 19 years. He is a short haired, tight-muscled kid who, under normal circumstances is considered by society as half man, half boy. Not yet dry behind the ears, not old enough to buy a beer,but old enough to die for his country. He never really cared much for work and he would rather wax his own car than wash his father's; but he has never collected unemployment either. He's fresh out of school; he was probably an average student, pursued some form of sport activities, drives a ten year old jalopy, and has a steady girlfriend that either broke up with him when he left, or swears to be waiting when he returns from half a world away. He listens to rock and roll or hip-hop or rap or jazz or swing and 155mm howitzer. He is 10 or 15 pounds lighter now than when he was at home because he is working or fighting from before dawn to well after dusk. He has trouble spelling, thus letter writing is a pain for him, but he can field strip a rifle in 30 seconds and reassemble it in less time in the dark. He can recite to you the nomenclature of a machine gun or grenade launcher and use either one effectively if he must. He digs foxholes and latrines and can apply first aid like a professional. He can march until he is told to stop or stop until he is told to march. He obeys orders instantly and without hesitation, but he is not without spirit or individual dignity. He is self-sufficient. He has two sets of fatigues: he washes one and wears the other. He keeps his canteens full and his feet dry. He sometimes forgets to brush his teeth, but never to clean his rifle. He can cook his own meals, mend his own clothes, and fix his own hurts. If you're thirsty, he'll share his water with you; if you are hungry, his food. He'll even split his ammunition with you in the midst of battle when you run low. He has learned to use his hands like weapons and weapons like they were his hands. He can save your life - or take it, because that is his job. He will often do twice the work of a civilian, draw half the pay and still find ironic humour in it all. He has seen more suffering and death then he should have in his short lifetime. He has stood atop mountains of dead bodies, and helped to create them. He has wept in public and in private, for friends who have fallen in combat and is unashamed. He feels every note of the National Anthem vibrate through his body while at rigid attention, while tempering the burning desire to 'square-away' those around him who haven't bothered to stand, remove their hat, or even stop talking. In an odd twist, day in and day out, far from home, he defends their right to be disrespectful. Just as did his Father, Grandfather, and Great-grandfather, he is paying the price for our freedom. Beardless or not, he is not a boy. He is the British, Australian, Canadian, New Zealander or American Fighting Man that has kept his country free for over 200 years. He has asked nothing in return, except our friendship and understanding. Remember him, always, for he has earned our respect and admiration with his blood. Now we even have women over there in danger, doing their part in this tradition of going to War when our nation calls us to do so. As you go to bed tonight, please offer this short prayer:. "Lord, hold our troops in your loving hands. Protect them as they protect us. Bless them and their families for the selfless acts they perform for us in our time of need. Amen." In Memory of LCPL Cory Ryan Geurin You donned your uniform and shined your boots Proud to be U.S. recruits Raised your hand and took the oath To serve your country you were not loathe They sent you to a foreign land And courage with you made your stand Strength and heart is the American Way From our purpose we will not stray Willing to fight in the name of Freedom For the rights of all Mankind, not just some Support our country in their belief That every nation should have relief From the oppression and misery of entire lands By the likes of the Regimes and the Talibans For those who fought we cannot know The pain in your eyes and what hurts you so Only with your comrades will you fully share What is behind the Thousand Yard Stare We can only support you and know that it’s true You will receive the respect that is your due… No more Vietnam for the Red, White and Blue. 'Eternal Soldier' By Ann-Marie Spittle I am the Eternal Soldier Though my body breaks My soul goes on Through the jungles and the deserts Across the mountains and the seas Whither I am called I go Steadfast, reliable Though my mouth moans And my body aches I push on Until the objective is done The opposers disperse Or I am called elsewhere As one battle ends Another begins Always with myself The battle is the greatest While you break, I bend When you fall, I walk on Always expected to be courageous Always expected to be brave Always the first to charge While others stand behind me Like fearful children Hoping I will kill the big bad wolf I am the eternal soldier Our heart beats as one Though my body is many Brothers are we in blood and bone While around us separation Takes hold of the individual Hold my hand And I will guide you through For I am Michael, soldier of Angels My heart is true To the cause of my country That others may not suffer The horrors of the past Walk with me if you dare For mine is not a path lightly taken Brave heart, brave feet Brave voice, brave action These are our creed And our battle cry 'Sea of Faces' By Ann-Marie Spittle See us! We are not just pictures Pieces of a tableau Or parts of a mosaic To make you weep We lived and breathed Held children in our arms Hugged family before we left And many only have that memory Think only of us as we were Not this two dimensional nothingness That has no depth of us Your memories will add that Remember We are not the coffins you see The flag draped Or the stone calved with a name We are your heart If pictures make pictures Then know this The picture we would make is of the Union Flag And the map of this United Kingdom In Loving Memory of Russell Aston 'Next To You' Submitted by Lisa Aston You cannot see or touch us But we're standing next to you Your tears can only hurt us Your sadness makes us blue Be brave and show a smiling face Let not your grief show through We love you from a different place Yet we're standing next to you
