 | Remembrance Day/Armistice Day/Veterans' Day To all who've served, and who presently serve, that others may live in freedom. Thank you.  In Flanders Fields In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields. - John McCrae Remember them always. |

| Showing respect and gratitude is a good thing. Back it up with action - give what you can afford to the Ex-Services Charity in your country.

| Here is something that I found in one of the magazines I get. Memory of Marc By Lynn M. Cifka A flag will always wave in the wind, like a soldier standing tall. Stars sparkling like the medals on his chest, reminding us of freedom, and grateful for another day. A nation dries their eyes from tears that were wept A mother embraces the flag that encircled his casket, closing her eyes in silent prayer. Let us remember all who have fallen - A promise kept.

 | The Ode to Remembrance They went with songs to the battle, they were young. Straight of limb, true of eyes, steady and aglow. They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted, They fell with their faces to the foe. They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years contemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning, We will remember them. Lest we Forget

| After the ceremonies today, I did something I hadn't done in years. I had a drink (or two or three or four...) at the Legion with my grandad.  I saw a few old fellas who I hadn't seen since I was a kid, and we drank to some who are no longer with us. He introduced me to a few I'd never met before too. God damn, it was a good day. Bless their hearts, the lot of 'em. |

| Never forget. I've given £2 to the Legion, and wear my poppy with pride.
