    I've attended a couple of them on my lunch hours and enjoyed them.  Today was unusually cold, but since it was a Sunday, there may have been a large crowd.  I've not watched the news yet, but I'm sure there will be something about it on there.

    This is terrifying, I just did the same thing.  I didn't see this either.  Kill me now.  Please.

    I won't do anything special or expect something special from anyone...

     I will remember the toils, the blood from the battles on the far distant soils - this includes our soil (U.S.)

    I like soldiers.  As long as they are not part of Trump idolatry, I thank them for having their hearts and minds in the very best place.  Caring for others.  Giving your life, if necessary, to your comrades in arms.

    I like people who want to protect.

    I salute each and every heart that thinks this way and puts their energy into it all day and night for years.

    I spent some of my day remembering a family friend that was a merchant marine during the second world war. Here in Canada they are not recognised as vets but I think they should be. Cheers!

    The Last Post

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=McCDWYgVyps

    The Exhortation

    They shall grow not 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 the morning
    We will remember them.
    We will remember them.

    2 minutes silence.

    Last Flight

    Once we were young and burned the sky
    But little thought to die.

    Now we are old, How damped the fires,
    How bitter cold.

    The days grow shorter and memory too.
    The fight is fainter and the victories few.

    My eyes lack lustre but my heart beats fast,
    I go to meet the Master in whose image
    We are cast.

    Shall I see fellow fliers?
    Shall I laugh again on high?
    Or will it be those fearful fires
    When airmen lit the sky?

    In Flanders Fields

    In Flanders fields the poppies blow
    Between the crosses, row on row,
    That mark our place; and in the sky
    The larks, still bravely singing, fly
    Scarce heard amid the guns below.

    We are the Dead. Short days ago
    We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
     Loved and were loved, and now we lie
     In Flanders fields.

    Take up our quarrel with the foe:
    To you from failing hands we throw
    The torch; be yours to hold it high.
    If ye break faith with us who die
    We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
    In Flanders fields.
