There are so many elements to this question, especially for those that have served and lost friends. But one that always comes to mind for me is Terry Kelly's "Pittance of Time". I love the fact that it doesn't make pronouncements about motives, but rather the cost of war, and the price that many payed. Sometimes we blame warriors for war, when often they are just young people doing a duty they feel they have to do, sometimes for patriotic reasons, sometimes for economic reasons, sometimes just because they were searching and ended up there. Regardless of the motive, the price was paid and we need to take the moment to remember and reflect. God be good to them all.

All the best,

Mick
