On a reactor's channel. It made me cry, such heartbreaking lyrics. I think many find themselves getting more invisible in society as they get older, and to think those in the song helped pave the way for a better society, having fought or been through the war - only to be forgotten.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
