Freedom isn't free.
Could you fight 4 your country? People have and paid it with their lives! Please remember the fallen, on the 11th hr of the 11th day of the 11th month.
They shall be always remembered!

Yesh well said ..., hey i just thought of somthing, i know what everyones thinking, "not another one of Craigs, Just a thought things" but at 11 o clock we should all post a reply to this topic and see how many there are ...
sorry for wasting your time

and then maybe have a minute of 'forum silence' just as there would be at any organised event.

[Mini-Mad-Craig]

yeah lol, and to acheive the forum silence we can all log off at 10.44, then at the bottom of the homepage were it says members active in last 15 mins ect ... itl say 0,
Sorry. i need to get out more

[Bristolmini]

Not sure that would work, you would never get everybody to know that they should not log on between 10:45 and 11:00. A minute of no posts from 11:00 would be more realistic

Got to wear my medals today...always a poignent time.

I always try and get over the point that it was young people that died, 14, 15 year old in WW1 for example, average age in WW2 20 I think. More recently it is still generally under 25. I think that we see the old warriors on parade and associate Remembrance Day with old folk.

They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
