Never Forget! as we are rightfully celebrating a phenomenal rescue! that not every troop was brought back. Maybe they believed the promise that they would be brought back as they were walking over the pulverized remains of their own; maybe they didn't . . . BUT they went on the FIGHT. God BLESS them all and one!
Good to keep it all in perspective in the midst of successful operations.
Yes this was a magnificent operation! But I am haunted?? by the ones who never came back, at least want to recall them to memory . . .
Absolutely. Our joy always needs to be tempered a little by the memory of those not here to celebrate with us. Their stories also need to be told so their bravery and sacrifice are not forgotten.
