It is why there is a WALL for the fallen from wars. They will not be forgotten for their ultimate sacrifice in performing their duty no matter the odds against them. They obeyed their orders and fought despite the danger and perils they were to encounter.

People who lack knowledge should simply keep quiet or just say THANK YOU to the ones who put their lives on the line for them..
