Dear S103,

Thank for the Armistice Day reminder. No harm in occasionaly reminding us within the KP universe that the real heroes are guys like Sgt. Salvatore Giunta in Afghanistan.

it is so sad that so many seem to forget those thst served, giving us the only thing that mattered, their lives.

but as long as we have things that remind us, from books like killer angels and we were soliders and young, to the movies and tv specials, and even here, where men and women that know better then most share with us their experiences we will never forget.

Thank You for the rememberance. I would like to give you Right Hand Salute. Yours, GMG1.

so two things this is the first

Never Again...

Never Again...

They had a frightening desire for genocide

They wouldn't stop 'til what was left of my family died

Hell-bent on taking over the world

You couldn't hide in the shroud of conformity

We can't forget how we were devastated by the beast

And how we pleaded with our captors for release

We were hunted for no reason at all

One of the darkest times in our history

All that I have left inside

Is a soul that's filled with pride

I tell you Never Again

Their depraved society

Didn't end up killing me

Scream with me Never Again

Not again

A generation that was persecuted endlessly

Exterminated by the Nazi war machine

We will remember, let the story be told

To realize how we lost our humanity

You dare to tell me that there never was a Holocaust

You think that history will leave the memory lost

Another Hitler using fear to control

You're gonna fail this time for the world to see

All that I have left inside

Is a soul that's filled with pride

I tell you Never Again

Their depraved society

Didn't end up killing me

Scream with me Never Again

Not again

All that I have left inside

Is a soul that's filled with pride

I tell you Never Again

Their depraved society

Didn't end up killing me

Scream with me, Never Again

For the countless souls who died

Let our voices fill this night

Sing with me, Never Again

They aren't lost you see

The truth will live in me

Believe me, Never Again-Disturbed Never again (the lead singer is also Jewish and his grandfather is a holocaust survivor)

the second I'm part German and I know for a fact that there was a holocaust and if someone said there wasn't I would beat their sorry asses badly

We’ve shared a lot of info. I can’t recall if you ever mentioned your involvement in the armed forces. You probably have. It would make sense, of course, because you incorporate Ron’s service record into your stories. Now that I think about I surprisingly don t see a lot of that in other fic‘s. I, a lifelong civilian, lay hand on hearrt in a civilian salute to you. And I celebrate with you Veterans Day. Wonderful story and wonderful reminder.

I also read that November 9, 1938, was the date of Kristallnacht, when the Nazi storm troopers rioted and assaulted Jews all over Germany and parts of Austria.

Amen, Brother.
