Liberation.
Posted by: Gianluigi Mazzorana on 25 April 2006
1945 april the 25th.
In those days of war and hope.
In those days when the people of Italy stood, raised and rushed in the streets of our cities.
For all those who left their lifes on the fields and the dust and that will forever shine in the last and supreme very moment of their last breath.
And for the 600.000 foreign soldiers from any country that walked their boots in tiredness, hunger, thirst, danger and death leaving their friends buried under the italian soil.
For the privates and the officers.
For the partisans of any party and all those who helped.
Thank you.
Today is liberation day.

Hi Howard!
My grandpa fought in North Africa as well and got captured on Amba Alagi mountain.
Spent 7 years in an english camp in India and told me about the courtesy of the english army men and women.
You see how things change in history and how those who were enemies become friends and those, who speaks about revenge bringing entire countries in disaster, fall.
People who lived the hardest times of our world's life should be given the gift of living for centuries and teach to all new generations.
Our being humans and mortal is the paradox of our being developed and thinking over all the other species.
So the only last thing, for good willing women and men, is to learn.
Cheers
