Thank-You to all the men and woman who fought and died for freedom so that we can make simple choices in life such as post on internet forums or indeed migrate as we wish.
There are still those less fortunate, lets also remember them too.

Couldn't agree more. It is the past that moulds us into the people we are today.

i think as you get older, you appreciate what these people did for you and your country more. i get quite emotional now about it.

god bless all those that perished, and also all those that fought and survived, and lived to tell us their stories.

Thumbs up Re: Lest we not forget

Amen to that!

My maternal grandfather (a Norfolk man) was the gunnery officer on the submarine HMS Taciturn, while my paternal grandfather was a member of the occupying forces in Germany at the end of WWII.

Both were British, of course; though my paternal grandfather was Irish, while my maternal grandfather was English.

couldnt agree more, but i think its also important that we dont forget all the men and women that have died for their countries during more recent times too.

It hit me that i was the same!

she was talking about how the soldiers who were about to go out to fight in iraq had to write letters to their loved ones 'just in case'!! in her case, she got the letter, it was heart rendering!

As an ex member of the Royal Navy - 25 years - today, for me, is one of the most relevant days of the year. I lost good mates along the way - some in active service and others in accidents.

Thank you for this thread.

Jim
