Patrick Rourke's Story
My Grandfathers, like many who fought & served their county, never gave it a second thought. As night followed day, it was a mans patriotic duty, to defend King & country & if necessary to lay down their lives in the name of freedom; for little or no reward.
It is myself & my generation, that have profited from the deeds our noble ancesters.
It is with gratitude, that I, salute their courage & sacrifice.
