R.I.P. Bernard Jordan

[Mohican]

Your 'escape' to Normandy was truly inspirational. http://m.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-sussex-30699446

[RED-DOG]

He was getting old and paunchy
And his hair was falling fast,
And he sat around the family,
Telling stories of the past.

Of a war that he once fought in
And the deeds that he had done,
In his exploits with his buddies;
They were heroes, every one.

And 'tho sometimes to his neighbors
His tales became a joke,
All his buddies listened quietly
For they knew where of he spoke.

But we'll hear his tales no longer,
The old man has passed away,
And the world's a little poorer
For a Soldier died today.

[Longines]

RIP Irene Jordan. Married to Bernard for more than 65 years, she died a week after her husband.
