These fallen heroes represent the character of a nation who has a long history of patriotism and honor - and a nation who has fought many battles to keep our country free from threats of terror.

I'm grateful I was not born into a world run by the Nazis. Thank you Britain for standing your ground until the Americans could get their finger out.
