Phillip Wellesley Colley was just 25 when he lost his life on 6th June! The debt we owe can never be repaid, R.I. P your duty done!

History and only history teaches us many good lessons to build a beautiful future . All nations of the world prove that history is true but very few can follow the history.

"He'll always be 25" Dang, i am that same age, but they had to fight and kill with the never certain knowledge of returning, but only the driving will of protection for the family back home . Thank you, good men

As an American, I will always be inspired by the “stiff upper lip” of the British people.

@Mike-up6go Месяц назад

Indeed, I am an American and cannot even begin to fathom the hell the Brits endured during the constant bombing from Germany in WW2. Of course having a man such as Winston Churchill certainly helped. To many, he was the glue that held the British people together during that time.

Excuse me? How fucking dare you! Don’t ever speak for all of us. 90% of us know what the allies did to fucking free Europe. The European Union has prevent monstrosities like this, and Britain leaving it, because they want some feeling of power. I am half British/Dutch but how dare you say we don’t appreciate it!
