What I feel about this..
Is that "fallen soldiers" deserve their final resting place. They have earned their Rest In Peace.
No matter where they are "found", no matter where they "lay". We must never forget them.
They never caused wars, they never deserted, they died.
The paid ultimate sacrifice, for what? (not in my name).
Politicians, that's what!
As I grow older now, and see the futility of war, people like me and you (younger generation) are still dying.
I hope every one of them is remembered, lovingly missed, by the people who loved them.
But, above all else, no matter how long it takes, give them their final resting place.
It's the least we can do.
It's the least they deserve.
May they Rest In Peace.
