Edited by: Max Godsnottlingson on 06/08/2009 06:50:11 Today is something of a poignant day in the UK. As it sees the funeral of Harry Patch. The last known survivor of WW1.
So please take a moment to remember all those, no matter what nation they come from, who have given their lives so that we can enjoy the lives that we live.
Harry is a better man then I, because after surviving the worst example of mans inhumanity to man he held no grudges. Knowing that his passing would be marked, he specifically asked that not only should soldiers from the allied forces take part in his funeral, but also that German troops be present too.
For me Harry is a real hero, his massage is simple.
What happened in the past is in the past, now we should look to stepping forward together.

War brings out both the worst and the best in people, and it changes everybody who is part of it. Some for the better, some for the worse.

Xen I don't know if those are your own words, or something you have found. But I found that incredibally touching. I hope you don't mind, but I've pasted it to the original post here. Thank you.

Originally by: wikipedia In October 1916, he was conscripted as a private into the Duke of Cornwall's Light Infantry.
At least he didn't wake up one day with a burning desire to slaughter as many as he could get his gun pointed at, it's the only kind of soldier I have any time for.

Good chap, lived well. Radiohead wrote a song about him. Released on their website radiohead.com with the proceeds going to a veteran group. Name of the song is "Last Tommy".
I have heard it said that a war only truly ends when the last soldier dies and he can finally rest in peace.
