Rememberance Day

[RACooper]

Just adding the two most requested songs from the noon-to-one request hour on the campus radio up here:

The Pogues - The Band Played Waltzing Matilda
Dropkick Murphy's - Green Fields of France

I have to say I was really impressed by the number of students that showed for the school-children's service yesterday, and the numbers that stood at the tower listening to the Clarion and piper playing a tribute today by the Memorials on campus.

The log book records thanks from children and adults from the Netherlands, Turkey, Afghanistan, France, America, the UK, China, Australia, Italy, Serbia, Poland, Russia, Cyprus, Lebanon, Croatia, Israel, Jordan, Vietnam, Cambodia, South Korea, Rwanda, the Congo, Bosnia, Greece, Belgium, Ireland, and Northern Ireland... it's hard to describe the emotions collecting the log & message book to be sent to the troops in Afghanistan and seeing so many thanks, wishes of peace, and prayers from so many faiths.

To all those who have served their Country, both abroad and at home, we say Thanks.

Jonathan A. Cohen
O Valiant Hearts
“ O valiant hearts who to your glory came
through dust of conflict and through battle flame;
tranquil you lie, your knightly virtue proved,
your memory hallowed in the land you loved.
Proudly you gathered, rank on rank, to war
as who had heard God's message from afar;
all you had hoped for, all you had, you gave,
to save mankind — yourselves you scorned to save.”
Taken from:
John Stanhope Arkwright’s hymn “O Valiant Hearts”.

May We as people of the world please take the time and think and thank those who are not only serving now but who have died for the many of us in a time of need.

God Bless each and everyone of them, Male and Female.
