Europe’s Fallen: A Promise That Must Never Be Broken
Never again should European nations wage war against one another. Never again should Europe’s sons and daughters be sent to kill their neighbours. Two world wars left Europe scarred, its cities reduced to rubble and millions of its people dead. Families were destroyed, generations lost and nations that shared centuries of history found themselves tearing one another apart.
On Remembrance Day, we bow our heads in memory of all those who lost their lives, whatever their nationality or uniform. Behind every name was a son, a daughter, a husband, a wife, a father or a mother. Ordinary people whose hopes and dreams were extinguished by the horrors of war.
Their sacrifice must never be forgotten, nor should we forget the terrible futility of European nations turning against one another. We cannot change the past, but we can learn from it.
