We shall remember them

[uphillstruggler]

In memory of my nan who died recently, who never forgot her older brother who died doing his duty.

Forever in our thoughts.

Lest we forget.

 

[J.Y.Kelly]

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.

What he said!

 

[Silver Fox]

May God watch over our brave troops and keep them safe.

[Night Train]

Same here.

Remembrance day is not really about the reasons for going to war, or even whose side a soldier was on. That is why the wreath is layed on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Remembrance day is to commemorate the sacrifice of soldiers from all sides, whether or not they were on the "right" side.

 

[Campfire]

I salute you all.

From me too. To the accompaniment to Barbers music (I cry whenever I hear it but it is to me very meaningful). All those wasted lives.

And in the darkness we shall not fotget.
