Help Support Prospecting Australia:
An evil act. How these perpetrators got so warped in their thinking is beyond my imagination. And did it advance their cause whatever that may be? Quite the opposite.What is not mentioned much is the injury count and the tens of thousands that have and are still suffering from the Aftermath.
PTSD , Anxiety and the multiple amount of Cancer patients and deaths from absorbing and breathing in all the destroyed building dust particles , toxic fumes and chemicals.
This face we shall unfortunately always remember.
Does anyone know who decides on these "International" whatever days? Seems we have no say in it.Today Is September 26, International Day for the Total Elimination of Nuclear Weapons.I don't know when this was proclaimed, but they're not having much luck in getting it done.
cant reply here. - Would you like to talk off forum? - And you're correct in as much as "they" don't want us to have a say.
No problem.

Today Is November 11, Armistice Day. Lest We Forget ⚘️
“Please wear a Poppy,” the lady said,
And held one forth, but I shook my head,
Then I stopped and watched as she offered them there,
And her face was old and lined with care;
But beneath the scars the years had made
There remained a smile that refused to fade.
A boy came whistling down the street,
Bouncing along on carefree feet,
His smile was full of joy and fun:
“Lady,” said he, “May I have one?”
When she pinned it on he turned to say,
“Why do we wear a poppy today?”
The lady smiled in her wistful way,
And answered, “This is Remembrance Day,
And the poppy there is a symbol for
The gallant ones who died in war,
And because they did, you and I are free,
That’s why we wear the poppy, you see.
I had a boy about your size,
With golden hair and big blue eyes.
He loved to play and jump and shout,
Free as a bird he would race about.
As the years went by he learned and grew,
And became a man – as you will, too.
But the war went on and he had to stay,
And all I could do was wait and pray.
His letters told of the dreadful plight,
(I can see it still in my dreams at night)
With the tanks and guns and cruel barbed wire,
and the mines and bullets, the bombs and fire.
Till at last, at last, the war was won –
And that’s why we wear a poppy, son.”
The small boy turned as if to go,
Then said, “Thanks lady, I’m glad to know,
That sure did sound like an awful fight,
But your son – did he come back all right?”
A tear rolled down each faded cheek:
She shook her head but didn’t speak.
I slunk away in a sort of shame,
And if you were me you’d have done the same:
For our thanks, in giving, is oft delayed
Though our freedom was bought
And thousands paid.
And so when we see a poppy worn,
Let us reflect on the burden borne,
By those who gave their very all,
When asked to answer their country’s call.
That we at home in peace might live.
Then wear a poppy,
Remember
And give.
