At 11 seconds of the 11th min of the 11th hour, of the 11 day in the year 2011, it will be 11.11.11.11.11 A truly unique moment and a poignant one to remember the fallen, both from 2 world wars and currently out in Afganistan and other conflicts around the world. I'm very proud of our armed forces and the work they do to help keep me and my family safe. Thank you from me to those fallen men and women of the past and to those currently in harms way today.
Well put Cest;it's a great feeling knowing that we are safe because of those who made the ultimate sacrifice.My thoughts are with the lads and lasses serving all round the world.
These days I find there are more and more things that make me sad about our country, some make me very ashamed, maybe its an age thing. There are however some things that make me very proud, last night of the proms and without doubt remembrance day. To see people of all ages show respect in the way we do, to see all those people march in London always fills my heart with pride and can bring a tear.
Lads. I can tell you that heart felt messages like this are very, very much appreciated by those serving this great land. Syd may find things about our country to be sad about, and there undoubtedly is but for me, having lived everywhere from the Falklands to Stornoway. This is still the best country in a ****ed up World. To those who have given the ultimate sacrifice. I salute you. To those doing 4,6 or 12 months in one of the worlds **** holes, I applaud you. Come home safe.
Having served in afganistan, i can tell you first hand that any message is well recieved and can lift spirits in difficult times! All be it in the RAF miles away from the front line but still Thoughts with those past and present!
It means a lot to me when the young people join in knowing what it is all about. I have a mate in Australia & the young over there have no idea what ANZAC Day is or what those men went through in Gallipoli.
I remeber one old soldier once said, you can't see it, you can't feel it, you can't smell, you can't taste it, you can't hear it, but you'll when it's gone, he was talking about your freedom, thank God we had & still have people brave enough to fight for it
Freedom isn't free. Thanks to all the servicemen and women who made the ultimate sacrifice or who came back from war injured. Both mentally and physically. You'll never be forgotten.
