Please take a moment today to remember.
 
Was just about to post and realized I had decided to keep my hands off the computer for 1 min at 11:00 as my sign of respect. So, I had to wait. :)

Those people gave a lot for our country and I am proud to remember them.

Armistice day.

For all those who have given their lives in the name of freedom, both forces and civilian. Wear your poppy with pride. There was 2 minutes silence at 11am.

Yesterday was also Rememberance Sunday when they held the the ceremony at the Cenataph in London(Televised) and the March Past, not to mention services for the fallen and smaller ceremonies all around the country at memorials in each town and city. Colchester is a military town so we always have a big turnout. :)
 
Yeah everyone is wearing poppies today... Except me, because I forgot. Gah. In the meantime, this is a pretty picture.

My flags are flying but because of the weather today, haven't seen many veterans to thank today. I'll just have to thank them silently, in my own way. And my favorite veteran is on a cruise ship right now so I'll have to wait till he returns on Saturday. :cool:
