I work in a VA hospital in the states. There is a plaque at the entrance.

"The price of freedom is seen here. " Indeed it is.

Thanks for remembering and posting this, Tom. A sombre day, and marked in much of the world. You will see poppies in Thailand.

Well done Tom, we should never forget the sacrifices made

We should remember past and current battles and those brave soles fighting in current conflicts and their families who live day to day worrying.

 

Hat off to them all.

I once stood under the Mennin Gate while the local fire brigade played The Last Post. They did this EVERY DAY at 9pm in Summer and 6pm in winter.

 

There were old soldiers there, some in wheelchairs. It moved me to tears to see them saluting their dead comrades. This was in 1968. They have now joined them. Harry Patch being the last Tommy to die this year or so.

 

No greater love has any man......

 

Well posted Tom.

Just watched the Remembrance Day ceremony from Ottawa on CBC. They were blessed with brilliant sunny weather. The Empire does this rather better than we do in the U.S.

May they never be forgotten.

 

We owe them so much.

Yes indeed we do ! Wear your Poppy with Pride.
