  • By me reading this beautiful and heartbreaking information I have came to my senses and realized war isn't just about fighting its about contribution and teamwork. This is why we must make an ending to these unnecessary war's it's so melancholy just listening, experiencing, watching and reading this. So may all the soldiers who fought for their own county rest in peace and have wonderful days up in heaven and people soon will be happy to see you again.
