Lest we not forget
Its rememberance day here
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.

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.

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.
