I have very strong views about Remembrance Day & Remembrance Sunday . I don't think wearing poppies glorifies war, as some people seem to think & I don't think two minutes silence on each day is too much to ask.
Maybe I feel this way because I *do* my family tree & we have lost family members in both world wars & in recent conflicts.
Or maybe I feel this way because it's right to be thankful for the freedom we have today, that we probably wouldn't have, had it not been for those who died defending us.
Whatever the reason, we shouldn't forget, not now & not in the future. Our children & grandchildren, their children & grandchildren, should always be aware of what went on before and be proud of the part their ancestors played in history.
Lest We Forget.
Totally agree with you Pat :) x
