'They shall not grow old as we who are left grow old.
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them..'
In memory of all those who have fought and died for our freedom.
For all the servicemen who are bravely carrying on to defend it.
Viv
That's nice Viv. I've got a timer to remind me to stop for the minute and remember at 1100hrs on 11/11/09.
ReplyDeleteMy paternal grandfather fought with the Australian Army, my father was in the Army too (though saw no live combat) and my twin brother is currently enlisted and, thankfully, nearly finished his 20 years, after which he will retire and find a new career.
We will remember.
This is lovely Viv. eileen
ReplyDeleteHi Viv,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for putting this on your blog ..... I've just got home myself after making sure all the war veterans got home safely themselves .... Bless them all.
Love Pam xx
What a lovely gesture Viv, even more poignant this year with the tragic loss of so many young lives in Afghanistan.
