Amen to that.

There's no greater sacrifice than layout down your own life for your countrymen's freedom.

Agreed, perhaps if you wish to show your support, you can reply to this...it would be smashing to have a thread of poppies.

While I feel that there is no reason at all for us to be in Afghanistan and that our invasion of Iraq was downright illegal, I shall keep the silence at 11am in remembrance of those who have died needlessly in the Middle East and other more recent wars and also in memory of those of my Grandfather's and Great-Grandfather's generations who died defending the Motherland - in those days there was a very real threat to our sovereignty.
 
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.

In memory of two Great-Uncles and the many more who have died.

Please go to your local Remembrance Day service at your local church this coming Sunday. Even if you are not particularly religious, the effort of going is as nothing to the effort our military men and women put into their daily lives. I am saddened every year by the dwindling congregation at our village war memorial.

Buy the Royal British Legion's "Two Minutes Silence" from iTunes.

It only costs 99p and I think it's a really imaginative way to connect with the new iEverything generation.
