This site is in memory of all the British Troops who have given their lives in Afghanistan and Iraq
in support of their Country. Let us all pay tribute to their bravery and commitment to duty and
pray for their families especially at this time of year. God Bless the British Military.
LEST WE FORGET
The final inspection
THE FINAL INSPECTION
The soldier stood and faced his God,
Which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining,
Just as brightly as his brass.
"Step forward now, you soldier,
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My Church have you been true?"
The soldier squared his shoulders and said,
"No, Lord, I guess I ain't.
Because those of us who carry guns,
Can't always be a saint.
I've had to work most Sundays,
And at times my talk was tough.
And sometimes I've been violent,
Because the world is awfully rough.
But, I never took a penny,
That wasn't mine to keep...
Though I worked a lot of overtime,
When the bills got just too steep.
And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at times I shook with fear.
And sometimes, God, forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.
I know I don't deserve a place,
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around,
Except to calm their fears.
If you've a place for me here, Lord,
It needn't be so grand.
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't, I'll understand.
There was a silence all around the throne,
Where the saints had often trod.
As the soldier waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, you soldier,
You've borne your burdens well.
Walk peacefully on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in Hell
god bless our Heros xxxxx

When the pain and grief are over
When it's my time to be by your side
I know you'll be waiting for me
And will greet me with arms open wide
♥
Until then I'll go on living
Though the light in my life has gone
The road will be long and lonely
But I'll bear up and try to be strong
♥
I pray that angels will guide me
Help me to get through this pain
Give me the strengh to go on
Till we are together again

Death is just another step
Along life’s changing way,
No more than just a gateway
To a new and better day.
And parting from our loved ones
Is much easier to bear,
When we know that they are waiting
For us to join them there.
So death is just a natural thing
Like the closing of a door,
As we start upon a journey
To a new and distant shore.
And none need make this journey
Undirected or alone,
For God promised us safe passage
To this vast and great unknown.
So let your grief be softened,
And yield not to despair,
You have only placed your loved one
In the loving Father’s care.

There is discipline in A Soldier
you can see it when he walks,
There is honor in A Soldier
you hear it when he talks.
There is courage in A Soldier
you can see it in his eyes,
There is loyalty in A Soldier
that he will not compromise.
There is something in A Soldier
that makes him stand apart,
There is strength in A Soldier
that beats from his heart.
A Soldier isn't a title any man
can be hired to do,
A Soldier is the soul of that man
buried deep inside of you.
A Soldier's job isn't finished after
an 8 hour day or a 40 hour week,
A Soldier is always A Soldier
even while he sleeps.
A Soldier serves his country first
and his life is left behind,
A Soldier has to sacrifice what
comes first in a civilian's mind.
If you are civilian -
I am saying this to you.....
next time you see A Soldier
remember what they do.
A Soldier is the one that is brave
protecting you .
If you know A Soldier -
I am saying this to you.....
RIP ALL xx

TO ALL MY FRIENDS,, EVEN THOUGH YOUR ALL NOT HERE OUR FRIENDSHIP IS STRONG ENOUGH TO STILL CONTINUE,, LOVED AND MISSED EVERYDAY :'(,, TAKEN FAR TO SOON XXX
My Life changed, the very moment I found out
That you had passed away.
I couldn't stop it; there was nothing I could say.
You've touched my life so deeply to a point you will never know,
I try to think about you when I am feeling down and low.
Sometimes when my day gets hard
I will think about your beautiful smile
and if I listen hard enough I will hear your voice after a while.
It's you who give me a reason to go on with my day,
and now if I want to see you I'll bow my head and pray.
I catch myself looking for you still,
In the halls and at your front door,
but when I call your name there is no reply any more!
I never thought a day would come where we would be apart,
God has you in his keepings, we have you in our hearts.
Life will go on, but never will be the same,
your beautiful smile is gone, but it will always remain.
You're our angel from up above.
You'll always be missed, but most importantly... loved.
Just one more minute, God, is all I ask- why can't you give them back;
it seems like such a simple task.
I guess people are right when they say God only takes the best,
I know enough now that you're peacefully at rest.
XXX LOVE ALWAYS BECKY XXX
One at rest
Think of me as one at rest
for me you should not weep
I have no pain, no troubled thoughts
for I am just asleep
The living thinking me that was
is now forever still
And life goes on without me now
as time forever will.
If your heart is heavy now
because I've gone away
Dwell not upon it friend
For none of us can stay
Those of you who liked me
I sincerely thank you all
And those of you who loved me
I thank you most of all
And in my fleeting lifespan
as time went rushing by
I found some time to hesitate
to laugh, to love, to cry
Does it matter now if time began
If time will ever cease?
I was here, I used it all,
and now I am at peace
(◡‿◡✿)
When we are in need of comfort
We walk down memory lane,
There we see you smiling
We talk with you again,
And as we wander slowly back
We seem to hear you say
Don't grieve. don't cry, my family,
We'll meet again some day.
(◡‿◡✿)
I am now in Heaven,
The gates have opened wide,
And now I have the privilege
Of walking by His side.
The angel choir is singing
And the music is so sweet;
I'll join them just as soon
As I have worshiped at His feet.
I am now in Heaven,
The blood washed throng is here;
I recognize a lot of them,
There's not a single tear.
There's joy beyond description
And reunions by the score;
There'll be no more separations,
For we'll be here evermore.
I am now in Heaven,
Please wipe away your tears;
I've fought the battle, run the race,
And I'm rid of all my fears.
There is no pain or sorrow here,
The heartaches now are past;
I've read and sung of Heaven,
And now I'm here at last!
I am now in Heaven,
And oh, this place is grand!
No one could have ever told me
Of all the beauty in this land.
Since I cannot describe it,
You'll have to come and see
That it was worth the many trials
To live here for all eternity!
