Thanks Dobiemom, I think we need to reflect on all the wonderful veterans of this country that have given so much to us and others and sacrifice so much.......:):):)

Thanks, Dobiemom. We have much to be thankful to all veterans in all countries for - they allowed us to be here planning cruises.;) We will be at our cenotaph tomorrow morning at 11 am for Remembrance Day ceremonies - I will be pushing a vet in a wheelchair in the parade, in fact. Our little town always has a huge turnout for the ceremony.

What a great thread.

 

I am so thankful for what everyone did for us to give us peace. Including my father and my uncle (RIP) and my aunt. I as particularly moved when we went to Normandy and saw how the kind people of Normandy respected those who had helped and the wonderful care they have taken of their resting places.

 

one of my favourite remembrances for Rembrance day is always a pittance of time.

 

Lest we never, ever forget.

Thank you to all the veterans for your service so we could have the freedom we have today.

Visited Arlington National Cemetery (parents and grandparents buried there) a couple of weeks ago. It is always a good reminder of how lucky we are through the selflessness of so many.

 

Thank you to all of the veterans for your sacrifices!

 

Has anyone seen the amazing sea of poppies around the Tower of London? There are over 800,000 representing the number of British troops dead in "The Great War".

I was certain my DH had military honors at his burial and a flag flies at the cemetery for DH, a Viet Nam Vet and for my father, a WWII Vet.

We were there in August. Incredible sight. There are a lot more of them now - they were just getting started when we were there.

I was at our local Veteran's cemetary attending the funeral of my BIL yesterday. They were setting up for the service today. Such hallow grounds.

 

As we walked among the stones on the ground (I put flowers on my own parents graves) I was once again reminded of so many sacrifices. I only wish more people in this country would remember that Veteran's Day and Memorial Day were about more than store sales.

 

Sadly I won't be at the service as I am still sick, after almost one week and one dr visit, Dh told me yesterday NO way. He said he doesn't want me to get phonomia (sp).

 

I am there anyway in my heart!

[freestyling]

A heartfelt Thank- You to all veterans and their families who gave up so much for us.

If this is somewhat garbled, I apologize. It is hard to type through the tears that this video is causing. Thank you Marcia for sharing it with us and I'd like to add:

 

"Thank you to all Past, Present and Future Military members AND to their families for loaning them to us in order that we may have our freedom!!"

I saw something on TV about this over the weekend and I was truly moved. Humankind suffered and sacrificed... I am humbled.

I am the son of a WWII combat veteran. Thanks for the emotional video. Especially, thanks to those Vietnam veterans who were not treated with the respect that they should have been given. Thanks to all veterans!!!!

[OCruisers]

Grateful thanks to all who have served!

I like the way the poppies seem to be flowing out of the window.

Agree. Thank you to all who have served or are serving their country.

We have a saying at the Somme Branch Legion. I am a member of. "If You Love Your Freedom. Thank a Veteran."

[cruisenfreak]

Agree, Folksinger. "If you love your freedom, thank a vet." Thank you, thank you, thank you to all of you who are veterans. Mary Jane
