Never again must we wage world war
We have fought the fight, what was it for?
Never again must we lose our shores
When they exist for us, they're not mine or yours
Never again must we give up time
When your moment is gone, you have given up life
Never again must we nickel and dime
The ones who need help while we complain and whine
Never again must we wear our shame
Trying to protect and invisible name
Never again must we lean on blame
As the answer will always stay the same
Never again must we ask why
Then accept an answer that only came from inside
Never again must we lay down to die
For a cause or a story that never even tried
Never again must we realize
It is too late to understand the other side
Never again must we walk on by

Johnny Evans (Great Nephew) - Born 11/10/1981
39 years have passed since the day
I was born into a world that was already made
39 years before that my Great Uncle had died
Giving his life so we could survive
78 years have passed since he drowned at sea
His compassion and fight lives on in me.
FIGHT UNTIL THE VERY END. Thank you George for giving your life so we could have the opportunity to prevent another catastrophe. I will not stop. Neither should anyone else.

Happy 78th Anniversary George
George William Beeching died saving lives. He kept saving lives up until his last breath. George inspires me every day and gives me the strength to keep going. We must keep fighting everyday so we do not have to fight another war we didn't want. We must fight with unity and having the courage to talk, trust, and build a new world were humans trust eachother.
Our new fight is to fight for our own species
Our new fight is to fight for our own honor
Our new fight is to find commonalities and goodness
Our new fight is to understand without judgment
Our new fight must collaborate and create new behaviors
Our new fight must move with the flow of time
Our new fight must know that it is easier to create new ideas than to stop old ones
Our new fight must allow those ideas to be received and willing taken, not forced
Our new fight must believe in all truths from all perspectives
Our new fight must lead to a common enemy we all have
Our new fight must look inside
