comments: REMEMBERED-- MILE HIGH AND THE REST



To any that are interested. This 15 of April is the 32nd aniversity of the contact off Mile High.A number of us from D 1/35 are taking a moment at 2pm thier time to remember those lost on that day and all those lost in our time. We will take one minute and say a few quite words. The word a few of us have dicided to use are as follows.



Lord we take this moment to remember our brothers.

Let us not dwell on the bad but remember the good.

Let us accept that we did our best and let us feel not guilt we are not with them.

Let them know that they live always in our hearts and thoughts.

Lord keep our brothers well till we meet again.
