BIG oops... I was saying ditto to Beer`s post and didn`t see the one after his and before mine. While I can understand the negative reactions on this day of reverence, I sincerely agree with the the sentiments of the young man in that video. That in NO way detracts from my respect for the sacrifices of those who have servred, who have died, and met worse fates than dying in battle.

Lest we forget. Always in my heart. Always.

Perhaps with this young man`s courage in speaking out we can NOT just remember on each Remebrance Day but change things so that those that gave their lives and more did not do so vain. He speaks the truth from his heart and he does more service to the veterans than any ceremony no matter what day it is.

I was at the Cenotaph in the rain and wind today. I wish THAT young man had been there beside me. But, of course, I know, there were many of him there. Vets, young, old... there were many of him.
