Carpe Diem

 

They were young and invicible .

Enjoying life .

Thinking days would last forever.

One of them was my father .

Now he's an old man .

Those days are gone.

They were good times.

Those times are gone.

So, CARPE DIEM !

Trophies

  More than one hundred years ago , some french sailors gathered around german trophies .

Those guys , even described as "sailors", were  actually  belonging to naval infantry , or french marine corps , an infantry force that specialized  in the support of naval and army operations on land.
