Save "tommy" the seaham comemoration

[lenny100]

This war hero turned up on our seafront out of nowhere almost like rising from his grave to tell us something,

 

his expression tells of 2 story's,

 

1st the look of pain and sadness for the thousand upon thousand of his comrades who fought

and fell at his side for the freedom and rights of our country and us,

 

We need this war hero,and now he needs you .....

 

the towns people have only 10 weeks left to raise enough cash to keep our soldier "Tommy"

 

We need £102 thousand, and fund raising is strating now please see the facebook page for more info

and see some of the hunders of photos of this powefull image from the past

A very worthwhile cause to those Men and Women who fought and paid the ultimate sacrifice in service of their country.

 

They get called for duty to serve the Crown

 

Loyal Men and Women hed the call

 

They say there farewells and off to serve

 

Where they will go no one knows

 

When they do its hell raining down

 

Bullets Bombs comrades fallin

 

They ask so little but give so much

 

The fallin the injured the families

 

We bow our heads in Respect

 

An salute you all

 

Lest we Forget

Incredible sculpture - why on earth are they planning to move it ?

 

I would have thought that it would be a tourist draw.
