[AW1Steve]

To all who served and those who are serving still. A sincere Thank You

Indeed. To which I'd like to suggest each of us, in our own place, and in our own heart, might want to keep a moment of silence,a thought, or a prayer at AM our time. To Honor those who, went before us, and honor in thought their deeds, sacrifices and beliefs.

Please insert poppie smiley here.

might want to keep a moment of silence

The fire alarm alarm was sounded briefly here to make the beginning of the 2 minute silence. Most people in the office observed it.

Is Remembrance Sunday still a major observance in the UK Simon?

[Feltan]

Thank you all for remembering me and my fellow veterans.

And, for those U.S. posters, thank you for paying your taxes while I served. I spent a lot of them!

Regards,
Feltan

[AW1Steve]

As the officer said to me after I enlisted , "welcome to the US military, and contrary to some peoples thoughts, you still pay taxes!"[:D]
You paid those taxes too! Even while serving![:D]

Good, I'm very,very happy to here that. I had the honor and privilege of witnessing two of those very special Sundays at Winchester Cathedral. They are among the most moving ceremonies I've ever seen.

[AW1Steve]

For those connected to the avaiation side of the service, I'd like to bring attention to something that the USAF has been doing for over ten years called "The Heritage flight". The other services have picked up the idea, and the song "We remember" , has been written , performed and donated by Dwayne O'brien (formerly of "Little Texas"). It's a rare thing to see the majority of an air show audience tear up, but I've seen many do just that.

Too right it is, and should be forever. No matter where I am and what I'm doing I try and keep to the 2 minute silence. It's not much to ask to remember those who fell to defend what we have today.

Thank-you to all that served and especially those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.

In my job I sometimes have cover parades like at Christmas or Thanksgiving which are normally boring. So I quickly spray the event and get out of Dodge. Today however I really enjoy covering the yearly veteran parade in Nashville. The men and women marching by, so proud as everyone cheers them on.

The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself

And to those who are still around to tease us about "silly" things from our past.

I work in a London office that probably has almost as many overseas workers than it has those from the UK - Germans, French, Italians, Americans, Antipodeans, Chinese et al. I am pleased to say that the 2 minute silence was respectfully observed by all [:)]

Mac67 - you are wrong, a twat is a useful thing.
