They speak to us from beyond The Wall
Through the memories we hold so dear.
Their messages are of many types
But there's one that is more loud and clear.

That is the message of Peace on earth
And a peace among men that will last.
The message of Hope is that all have learned
From the mistakes that were made in the past.

Who would know better to speak these words
Than these brave soldiers beyond The Wall.
For they gave their most precious gift
When their country gave them the call.

We who hear these messages must speak
For those who can speak no more.
The messages are truthful and clear.
"We must put an end to this thing called War".

Phil Thornton
1998

We owe it to these men and women, those who are still missing and unaccounted for, those who came home with wounds and scars that will never heal and each other, to make certain that history doesn't repeat itself.
