Once again Armistice Day rolls around. On the 11th day of the 11th Month at 11am the guns fell silent.
WE WILL REMEMBER THEM

While this famed and poignant poem is from WWI, it deeply applies to all the soldiers of all the wars and conflicts who served, fought and died for their countries............we will never forget them.
And we respect and honor the veterans as well, all who served, those who suffered wounding and trauma, and remember the missing, who one day will be found.
WE REMEMBER ALWAYS

On this 80th anniversary of the D-Day Landings I would like in particular to remember my wife's uncle who was K.I.A. on the 11th June 1944 whilst protecting the landings in Normandy as a Midshipman/Act. Lieutenant Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve serving on board His Majesty's Motor Gun Boat 17, age 19.
We Will Remember Them.

Thank you for keeping this post current each year on this day!
It is a day of remembrance, and honoring all that have served in service of their countries,
Some gave all, but all gave some.

We will honor them all, and I am proud of my own family past and present, who served in so many wars and campaigns through history into my own son, son in law, grandchildren, nephews. Many indeed saw true combat and suffered the consequences accordingly, but did so stoically and with pride.

Thank you all for your service, with every gratitude possible! and those who fell in battle, whether family or brothers in arms, your sacrifice will NEVER be forgotten.
