Ok folks... This is important to Me. And once you see it you'll understand why and I know that it will then be important to You.

I want to see how far we can spread this, because, IMHO it NEEDS to be spread all over the country.

I'm not going to describe it, as it will speak for itself. If your heart is NOT touched by this video, then you should be put down like a rabid dog. That's all I'm going to say.

The Last of the Light Brigade

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There were thirty million English who talked of England's might,
There were twenty broken troopers who lacked a bed for the night.
They had neither food nor money, they had neither service nor trade;
They were only shiftless soldiers, the last of the Light Brigade.

They felt that life was fleeting; they knew not that art was long,
That though they were dying of famine, they lived in deathless song.
They asked for a little money to keep the wolf from the door;
And the thirty million English sent twenty pounds and four !

They laid their heads together that were scarred and lined and grey;
Keen were the Russian sabres, but want was keener than they;
And an old Troop-Sergeant muttered, "Let us go to the man who writes
The things on Balaclava the kiddies at school recites."

They went without bands or colours, a regiment ten-file strong,
To look for the Master-singer who had crowned them all in his song;
And, waiting his servant's order, by the garden gate they stayed,
A desolate little cluster, the last of the Light Brigade.

They strove to stand to attention, to straighen the toil-bowed back;
They drilled on an empty stomach, the loose-knit files fell slack;
With stooping of weary shoulders, in garments tattered and frayed,
They shambled into his presence, the last of the Light Brigade.

The old Troop-Sergeant was spokesman, and "Beggin' your pardon," he said,
"You wrote o' the Light Brigade, sir. Here's all that isn't dead.
An' it's all come true what you wrote, sir, regardin' the mouth of hell;
For we're all of us nigh to the workhouse, an' we thought we'd call an' tell.

"No, thank you, we don't want food, sir; but couldn't you take an' write
A sort of 'to be continued' and 'see next page' o' the fight?
We think that someone has blundered, an' couldn't you tell 'em how?
You wrote we were heroes once, sir. Please, write we are starving now."

The poor little army departed, limping and lean and forlorn.
And the heart of the Master-singer grew hot with "the scorn of scorn."
And he wrote for them wonderful verses that swept the land like flame,
Till the fatted souls of the English were scourged with the thing called Shame.

O thirty million English that babble of England's might,
Behold there are twenty heroes who lack their food to-night;
Our children's children are lisping to "honour the charge they made - "
And we leave to the streets and the workhouse the charge of the Light Brigade!

Almost 50% of the idiots living here voted for gore.

The civilians do not give a shit.

Have a nice day.

I'm sending that link to everyone in my address book.

Thank you for posting.

that was awesome....if it doesnt bring a tear to your eye, check for a pulse

**CelticCop** · 04-13-07, 01:31 AM

I'm sending it to Everyone in Mine as well... I'm sure that my mom will have it sent to half the country within 45 minutes of reading it (once she stops bawling).

I may not have served, but it wasn't for lack of trying (long story). My father served 20yrs in the Army and retired as an E-7 in early 1984. My Eldest brother was a fuel truck driver in the USAF. My cousin drove a tank and was later a truck driver in the Army. Another cousin served in the Navy. I'm so fuckin' Pro-Military I make protestors flee...

Very, very nice. Made the hairs on my neck stand up.

A safe and speedy return to yours, ours, and all others in the coalition of the willing.

It didn't and I have.

That was excellent, CelticCop. Thank you for sharing it.

I agree! That really hits home for me, since my son is serving in the Army. I'll be sending that link as well. I tried to give you some rep, but .... "You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to CelticCop again" I'll have to catch you later.
