    It saddens me to think that the sacrifice made by all those who died in 1914-1918, 1939-1945 and beyond was all in vain.
    Our freedoms, traditions and heritage have been given away or sold by our politicians. Shame on them.

    My mum always tells me about my great grandfather who went over with the 36th that morning. He survived and also fought at Messines the year after. He never wore a poppy despite losing lots of his comrades. Apparently it was because the charity never helped him out during difficulties later in life. His son went on to fight in WW2 and was shot by Japanese in Burma but he survived too. My mum always talks fondly of Nathaniel, my great grandfather, because he used to give her money and bottle of coke to go to church with him on a Sunday. Because no one else would....

    Sad to see alot of people completely misunderstanding Ulster heritage. We are not bootlickers to the English, nor are we subservient to the Irish, nor are we Northern Irish. We are the Sons and Daughters of Ulidia, be proud of that - do not sell your heritage to another nation.
