Amtraining today, but if I remember we will stop for a couple of mins.

It is good for a younger generation to remember all our servicemen and women who have given their lives in all the conflicts and to give a little to help those who gave so bravely.

I told my little boy that the poppy is to remember the old soldiers when he asked . He solemnly repeated this to the old gent who was selling poppies in the Asda in Halifax who seemed quite moved by the sentiment coming from someone so young

Just off to collect my 80 year old mother, to attend the rememberance service parade in Batley (West Yorkshire), go every year whatever weather..... hope to continue doing the same for many years to come.....

"They shall not grow old, as we that 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."

I'm in the ops oom today and so far 3 Coastguard teams are attending rememberance services plus a few Lifeboats.

LET US PRAY -
- We remember Lord, we remember: we remember ships tossed in the air by explosions, we remember men, our friends, falling beside us.... we remember telegrams coming to the doors of our neighbours, husbands taken from our arms never to return; sons whom we feared for every day. We remember a lot, we remember....

- Loving Father - help us in our memories - ease us in the pain of them, without causing us to forget.
- Lord God - we remember the costs, remind us too of the victory - of what was won by our comrades and by fellow countrymen; - And finally Lord God - be with all those who are facing war this day - our men and woman at sea and on land and in the air in the mid-east; and be with the rulers of this world and all the world's citizens, that we may learn and live the way of peace with justice, - AMEN

Just followed the TA, Army Cadets and Air Force Cadets back from town to the barracks at the end of our street. Marching to Men of Harlech. Brings a lump to your throat.

just got back with my two little uns. the eldest use to go and represent the cubs group, but hes 11 now so hes retired. down to his 6 yr old younger brother in the beavers to fly the flag. very important for the younger generation to realise just what war means in the hope they dont suffer the same fate.
no matter how many times i hear the last post it still chokes me.
the only thing that i was upset with was the sunday morning football matches, how insencetive. ball in play, players screaming and shouting at one another during the silence, disgusting and downright ignorant.

Watched on Tv this year and even stopped making noise/talking/clattering on my keyoard for 2 minutes ......... a record for me .
