Re: This is why I will always buy a poppy...
On Remembrance day, we will be on holiday, as we were last year at this time, when the hour approaches, all activity stops dead, even the Spanish receptionist & staff freeze for those fateful moments.
Virtually all the guests are "Old uns", & nearly all have served. When the silence ends, you can still hear a pin drop. The feelings just flood back as most remember lost friends. It feels like hours before normal conversation starts again.
Respect. Not only for the fallen, but for those left with terrible injuries, & horrible memories.
