Armistice Day, a letter from Whittlesey in England

They shall grow not old, As we that are left grow old,
Age shall not weary them, Nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun
And in the morning
We will remember them.


A friend of mine put this verse on her facebook.
She talks :
Do you know this verse Kazuhiro? It is very famous here and always said on Remembrance Sunday and Armistice Day. It makes me feel very tearful as it is so poignant. We should never forget those that gave their lives in any wars wherever they come from. It is so futile.

I was very impressed the sentence as follows,
".....wherever they come from. It is so futile"
