Memorial for WWII

i thought this thread was nessecary because tommoro is 8th of may : victory of WWII (you guys probably already know that but oh well).
So hi guys this is a thread just to share our respect for the men,women and children who lost their lives in the biggest millitary conflict in history.

So just share your thoughts:

My grand father lost his life in the war and i never met him.......so


in memoriam mortuorum

 

We had Anzac day in Australia a few days ago. WWII related

 

My Great Grandfather was a pilot in WWII, I will respect them tomorrow, also, it's my friends birthday!

 

It wasn't a victory for everyone...

 

You're alive. I call that victory

 

"only the dead have seen the end of war"-plato

 

I may be mistaken (seeing as I'm not an Aussie/Kiwi), but I'm pretty sure Anzac day was originally WWI-related. Something about a gruesome beach landing against the Turks. Though I think it eventually became a generalized day of remembrance for fallen soldiers.

On that note, the centennial should be coming up within the next few years, shouldn't it?

 

This year and yes, mainly ww1 related but still has ww2 and Vietnam veterans, as well as the boer war.

 

Yeah, pretty much that... I don't think that we need WWII "celebration" here...

 

I agree with these guys.

If we are to have any form of WW2 memorial it should be for all those who gave their lives regardless of nationality.

 

I really don't know what to say for this. All respect to everyone who lost their lives in the war.

 

WOOOOOOO AMERICA

But yeah. Lots of people died. R.I.P.

 

No one can claim victory in war, everyone involved loses lives.

 

Yeaaaah, great idea. Lets celebrate the defeat of other countries on a multinational forum. Genius.

all gave some, some gave all.
rest in peace my brothers.
