    Rememberance Sunday

    A Day to remember our Hero's












    Brought tears to my eyes. It was great to see the younger generation showing their respect for those who gave their lives so we could live as we do today!
    My Eldest was in the March and my twins sat and watched!!

    I was just out shopping in Yiewsley and everyone stopped and paid respects. There were a certain number of people that didn't, all I can say is they obviously don't know British history.

    Lovely twins by the way

    I think that you get that where ever you are!!

    It makes you think, I wonder what life would have been life if things didn't turn out like they did?

    Scary thought!!

    The Twins were as good as gold!!
    And clapped their little hands off when they saw their big brother all dressed up in his Air Cadets Uniform!!

    Coming from a service family we went to the war memorial in Harrogate this morning and as usual the tears flowed.

    We do try to keep the tradition going. On Thursday 11th I was teaching school children swimming, and the sports centre always tries to observe the 2 minutes silence. 11 is swap over time for classes, so the class in the pool got out a couple of minutes early and went to change. I then explained to the next class why we were having 2 minutes silence prior to their lesson and they actually all managed to observe it.

    Then they wonder why some of todays kids have no repsect for them!!

    I was really proud to see my 14 year old in his uniform.
    Paying respect to the thousands and thousands of brave servicemen that lost their lives to save ours.

    Bring back National Service for all who can't get a job on leaving school!!!

    I did not attend any memorial or anything but did sit and quietly ponder the unselfish sacrifice of those who fought in the World Wars to ensure our freedom. I have nothing but utmost repect for them.
