It is from Rudyard Kipling, around 1910.\n\n"God of our fathers, known of old, Lord of our far-flung battle-line, Beneath whose awful Hand we hold Dominion over palm and pine-- Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet, Lest we forget--lest we forget!"

I am sorry for people dying during war.  But i am sick of soldiers families (i.e. rose gentles) going on about the illegal war - if you didnt want your son to fight in a war you should have stopped him joining the army.  I feel for innocent people who die during war not people who pick up a gun and go and fight.

not a vietnam vet but was stationed in W.Germany (b4 the Wall came down and went over again after the Wall came down - major difference in the folks over there both times) during the Gulf War in the Army.  Husband was in the Gulf War as a tank commander on the front lines.  My dad was a driver in the Army.  My brother just returned from Iraq.  My father-in-law was in WWII - he hit the beaches of Normandy on D-Day and was in the Battle of the Bulge.  I have a great uncle who was awarded the Medal of Honor and several other uncles who served as well.  My cousin, Tommy, was a Huey pilot in Vietnam.  He still has nightmares sometimes about it.  Had another uncle who was in the CCC.

First of all -- try talking to your mother -- YOUR father should have left a copy of his DD214 (Discharge Papers) with either her or some family member IF he has had ANY Military Service in his background.\n\nIF these papers are not available from your mother or your father's family, and you can PROVE that you are the direct relative of your father, then you can go to this site and request a copy of the deceased father's military record:\n\nvetrecs.archives.gov

Oh I so identify with you! My Dad retired after 30 years also, and then I only had him around before he passed away with a heart attack just a year afterward. So here's what I recommend: "Dad I want to applaud your long years within the Military. Although you won't be wearing a uniform any longer, I'll always think of you as the hero that you are, first to me, setting an example and teaching me responsibility; second to our country, going into harm's way making sure that those values I learned from you were available to everyone; and thirdly to the generations that arise from you for the future. I hope that you will always remember how your work has influenced my life, and given me opportunities. Happy retirement, Dad, I love you."

It's a poppy. It's for Remembrance Day, honouring all the veterans of war.

I've thanked those I can. My grandpa was a decorated Army vetran who died 2 years ago. My Father is a retired Marine Vet from the Vietnam era, and my brother is in the army, having been to Iraq twice already and getting ready to go back for a third time. My thoguhts and prayers are with all of our vets who fight heroicly for us, and for those who selfishly have given their lives for us. Today I will be spending my day proudly beside my father at the Marine Corps Memorial in Colorado.

Short Answer: Paul was a German Student who became swept up in the euphoria of conscription for World War I. When he arrives at the battlefront, he is horrified to discover the futility of war. Everyone around him is killed and in the last scene of the film, he reaches up into the sky to capture a butterfly which symbolizes the peace he has lost.\n(See also the Australian film "Gallipoli" with Mel Gibson - another great anti-war film).

you are either thinking of skinner or homer's father. besides, do you really homer would be alive if he was in the army? seeing how he is taking care of himself in the comfort of his own home?

Hard to say-sounds kind of generic.\n\nDont know if all nations wore paint, but a lot did and it signifies something.. Dont know what though.\n\nThis is usually reserved for Men who are Warriors

Do a web search for Matthew Brady, Alexander Gardner, and Timothy O'Sullivan. They were all Civil War photographers. Lots of good info.

It could be a number of things...\n\n1. Maybe your brother saved someones life in the war, and just wanted to say thank you\n\n2. Maybe someone wanted to commit suicide and thought of your brother and thus didnt\n\n3. Maybe it is some guy your brother knews lucky charm\n\n4. Maybe its a symbol saying remeber or I havent forgotten.\n\nIt could also be a spiritual sign from your brother to you. Stranger things have happend. Keep your eyes peeled maybe hes trying to talk to you.\n\nHeidi\n\n3.

I'll tell you how i feel about it.first of all i want to personally thank your dad for the sacrifices he has made to help secure our safety.nobody and i mean nobody has any right to down the military.our military has been put in harms way on a hunch that Saddam had some weapons.this is not their fault.the job they are doing over there is heroic.all of them are heroes.the bad things you see that is being blamed on the soldiers is in no way their fault.a soldiers job is to follow orders.so don't blame the soldiers let's just bring them home safely to their families.your dad is a hero and i thank him.
