With proud thanksgiving, a mother for her children,
England mourns for her dead across the sea.
Flesh of her flesh they were, spirit of her spirit,
Fallen in the cause of the free.

Solemn the drums thrill: Death august and royal
Sings sorrow up into immortal spheres.
There is a music in the midst of desolation
And a glory that shines upon our tears.

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

They mingle not with their laughing comrades again;
They sit no more at familiar tables at home;
They have no lot in our labour of the day-time;
They sleep beyond England’s foam.

But where our desires are and our hopes profound,
Felt as a well-spring that is hidden from sight,
To the innermost heart of their own land they are known
As the stars are known to the Night;

As the stars that shall be bright when we are dust,
Moving in marches upon the heavenly plain;
As the stars that are starry in the time of our darkness,
To the end, to the end they remain.

Laurence Binyon (1869-1943)

Dedicated to the dead of all nations, who fell fighting for our liberty in the Great Wars.

We mention the words the mainstream media censors, so you don’t have to – and show the evidence (below the fold) that most of them are trying to gloss over – that these appalling  crimes were, like the Fort Hood Massacre, an act of Jihad:

Muhammed, 48, was killed by lethal injection at 9.11pm EST (0211 GMT) for a three-week killing spree in 2002 that left 10 dead.

Prison spokesman Larry Traylor said Muhammad had no final words and did not utter a word while he was preparing to be executed.

J. Wyndal Gordon said Muhammad had no regrets and would die with dignity. Mr Gordon also insisted that Muhammad was innocent. Read the rest of this entry »
