Coram Deo
“Of course the people don't want war. Naturally, the common people don't want war: neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood.
But after all it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship . . . voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders.
That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.”
Hermann Goering, Reichsmarschall German Nazi Party

Bring them Home - bring them All Home
Whatever our history may show
We are not designed for War
We are not designed to kill
There are other ways
There really are other ways
Older men declare war. But it's the youth who must fight and die.
Herbert Hoover
You can no more win a war than you can win an earthquake.
Jeannette Rankin, First Woman
Member of US Congress
We have to face the fact that either all of us are going to die together or we are going to learn to live together and if we are to live together we have to talk.
Eleanor Roosevelt
They wrote in the old days that it is sweet and fitting to die for one's country.
But in modern war, there is nothing sweet nor fitting in your dying. You will die like a dog for no good reason.
Ernest Hemingway
The Royal British Legion safeguards the welfare, interests and memory of those who are serving or who have served in the Armed Forces.
They are good men and women.
Bring them Home, bring them All Home
