Poet's note: I wrote this to celebrate the Arm Forces Remembrance day, a day set aside to remember all those that have lost their lives in the field of fighting insecurity, I wrote to express the anguish their families go through and express the Injustice in just granting armnesty almost all the time when terrorist are caught, even treating them to the Countries of their choice, while the families and the victims are almost never remembered. Finally I wrote this to celebrate this brave men and their acts of bravery.
