Why don't you get a life ? !!!

Post by Oscar Namechange »

This morning, we congregated at The Royal British Legion HQ and marched through the town to The War Memorial in the Park for a service and our two minute silence. In the long procession of Marchers, were the War Veterans, members of the Royal British Legion, RAF Cadets, EX Military Personnel, The Police, Our Member of Parliment, The Salvation Army and a Brass band and many children.

There were many many war Veterans Including our eldest local veteran aged 97 years old being pushed in his wheelchair by his daughter. He was a tank commander who lost every one of his comrades on the French Battlefields. All the War veterans were there proudly wearing the medals they so rightly deserved. We marched 3 abreast to the order of the Seargent Major. There were lines of people on each side of the road who applauded as the Veterans filed by.

I was in line with the oldest vet and his daughter and another in another wheelchair. As our procession marched through the High Street, a youth standing on the pavement aged approx 20 years old shouted loudly at these war veterans 'WHY DON'T YOU LOT GET A F**KING LIFE?'

He was rightly Ignored. We went on to a beautiful service.

I took a pic of the Tank Commander aged 97 who shed tears today for his fallen comrades. He must have wondered what the hell he fought for hearing that piece of scum. I know I certainly did.
