‘There is something about Willie Goldfinch, which I suggest will be echoed by all serving Military personnel, and their families today.
I do not ‘claim’, I state, as fact, that the ‘Peoples’ Memorial’ serves as a humble yet honourable recognition to all those who gave up their lives so that this country enjoys the freedom bequeathed us by a few. We seem to forget that for every life lost, family heartbreak follows.
Let this Memorial remind us all; while politicians come and go, in modern times they commit our children to battles often lost, then move on to the next one as ‘political poodles’ and to get rich into the bargain. Most often, they simply could not care a damn.’
Well done, Willie Goldfinch. You are to be saluted.
"There is something about Willie Goldfinch....."
Well done Willie Goldfinch, and ignore the few detractors you have, for none of them will have performed in the service of the Crown.
For these less-enlightened folk, it is all about them having nothing better to do with their worthless lives – they are ‘complainers’ - for their combined joint existence is worth less than a single moment of your valuable time.
‘The Peoples Memorial’ is well thought of and respected around the world. It has become a set-in-stone symbol, a place of reflection in deep respect for those who selflessly gave their lives, or have suffered terrible injuries, so that we may enjoy the freedom the United Kingdom has given us generations long gone, today, and for the future.
“Once a Royal Marine, always a Royal Marine,” is a saying very close the Corp’s heart, so, on behalf of HM Royal Marines and the Commandos Veterans Association, God speed Willie Goldfinch.
Now, let ‘The Complainers’ go get your Saturday night kebabs; very grateful that you don’t get shelled on the way home. You people are extremely lucky to live in ‘Blighty’, and to have Mr Goldfinch tell you so.
