Thanks for remembering our veterans. One day my husband will be a Vet.
169064We call it Remembrance Day here in UK. It is the anniversary of the armistice at the end of WW1. We wear Poppies to commemorate the day and the whole country has two minutes silence at 11am - the time the armistice was signed.

Excellently put Sue. I have spent time today with a group of young Japanese students who are here because a local man was in a pow camp in their town in the second world war.

22595Thank you for remembering and sharing this holiday with our Cuties from other parts of the world. We recently lost our son-in-law, who was a Major in the Army, so it is a sad day for us.
