They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn them. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them.

My cousin died a week ago in a fire fight. He was in the Canadian army. I’m going to his funeral tommarrow. Part of me is happy he died for the greater good but another small part of me is angry that he had to go and get himself killed. I know I shouldn’t blame him.its just hard. Me and my other cousins are resisting this Poem and then the spillers cry O Canada.

[@hranta209]

Jacob Jake Peralta oh cool

[@_netscapenavigator]

DNA field tests led to finding of his remains. Since he wasn't buried with military ceremony, the army and the regiment did the needful.
