Remembrance Day

[davedove]

I'm antique enough to remember being taken out by my father to be shown a red glow in the sky, and be told it was 'London Burning'.

That gave me a chill James.

I pray that no one ever has to face the horror of war. And I give thanks to all those who answered the call when it became necessary.

I could say it better my self...

My mother tells of hearing the air raid alarm as a child in school, following the drill and heading home to the local bomb shelter. Only in Scotland, the alarms were usually late, because bombing was infrequent. She rushed home to be met by the police, her street had been hit. They told the children to rush back to school only to find it had been hit, too. Fortunetely, nobody was killed but she had shrapnel through her house.

This summer I was in Connecticut at my uncle's looking through old family pictures. Many of my dad's family have the comment "killed in the bombing" beside their name.

My wife's uncle went down in a plane over Burma. He was in the service. How sad for all those people and that it still goes on for civilians today.
