While we’d like to say that on this Remembrance Day we stand ‘with’ our Veterans, our fallen, and the many left behind, the truth is that we do not.
We can’t say that we do as we have not. We have not stood in front of you. Prepared to sacrifice our all for the safety and betterment of others as you have. We’ve not even stood ‘with’ you. We’ve not been on the front lines with you. We’ve not stared down the enemy on the field of battle, not knowing if today would be our last.
We WILL, however, today and every day, stand ‘behind’ you. Behind you in recognition of your sacrifices. In support of you and your family upon your return, if you’ve been so fortunate. Behind you with the respect and admiration deserving of someone willing to give their life for an unknown other.
“…We will remember them.” – Laurence Binyon, 1914
