Remembrance Day
Im sure none of you have forgotten, but today is the day the British commemorate those who fought, and are still fighting, in wars for their country.
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
Fourth stanza of 'For the Fallen' by Laurence Binyon (1869 - 1943)

Re: Remembrance Day
it's important to remember all those who have died so that we can have the lives we now have

I observed it in my car, outside the offices I was visiting..
I shall be parading with my unit on Sunday, and will be proud as always to remember those that went before, and those I know who didn't make it back.
For our tomorrow, they gave their today.

Re: Remembrance Day
Have been displaying my poppy in my sig for a week or so and observed the moment of silence at work. Shame the little br.... students didn't seem to care about the silence here too much though

Re: Remembrance Day
You would have loved the assembly at my school this morning.
Year 8(12-13)reading aloud war poems,diary entries,letters,information and statistics from WW1/2,and the symbolism of the poppy and the impact of the RBL on ex service men's lives.At the end they had their own dropping of poppies on the stage.And not a peep for the two minutes silence that accompanied this.
The young can still appreciate the sacrifices.
