don't forget 11/11
Quote by kbuk
please do not forget those who gave so much for our freedom; The nation's Two Minute Silence, 11th November at and Remembrance Sunday, 13th November.
How could we forget?????????
For those who gave all their days..... forever....... for us to remember them officially on one day per year is a small price to pay ........ their famillies miss them every day of each passing year...

We remember....
My dad fought in WW2 and so this is very important to me, as a mark of respect to him and his comrades.
My 7 year old daughter will be in her first parade as a Brownie, with respect to the grandad she never met.

Not being funny - but isn't the reason Remeberance Day is 11/11 is beacause its about WW1 and that was the date it eneded 11am on the 11 of the 11th 1918.......or has the rememberance changed to include all wars?
As i say, not being controversial just wanted to know..

2005 marks the 60th anniversary of the end of World War II and is the last major chance to thank all those ordinary men and women who went on to do extraordinary things 60 years ago. Not just those on the front lines, but all the millions of people who worked hard at home and abroad for the war effort and to remember all those who played a part in the hard-won victory.
But the Poppy Appeal is not just about remembering the sacrifices of World War II or the millions who suffered as a result of World War I. It is also a timely reminder of today's heroes, all those who serve in conflicts and peace-keeping missions across the globe and who may need The Royal British Legion in the future

Thats why it was started yes, but its changed to remember those fallen in all wars now, as since 1945 we have lost 12,000 British Servicemen.

Strangely given my lifestyle you’d expect me to one of those lefty/liberal PC mad people walking around saying how ashamed Britain and other countries should be of there military past. Well those people can rot in hell if they think that they are talking for me.
I’m proud of the British history and will be forever grateful to everyone who has served and given so much to keep this country (and others) free. And regardless of what certain communities may think this will always be a free country.
Britain will never forget.

I used to work in a care home that had a guy who suffered from post war syndrome or whatever its called, i'll never forget him even after all those years he still used 2 wake up screaming in the night, never spoke a word in 50 odd years since he came home except in his sleep, by all accounts he had sat and nursed his best friend after they was attacked and most of the other men had been killed out right after 3 days his m8 died and he was expected to just carry on like nothing had happened, i wouldn't have liked to have seen half the things he went thro and when they came home they was just put back into sociaty and expected to carry on after everything they had seen and been thro.
These people should never be forgotten cause we'd all be speaking bloody german now if it wasn't for them

I have to reply..
Yes 1100hrs 11th of Novenber was the end of the war to end all wars...
Then we had WW 2.
Since then it has been a great list of names of places that would take up all the space on this site.
Above I have seen what it meens to YOU, and that is the main thing.
I'm always on parade... right from my parents taking me as a kid.
Now I remember my oppos that have gone right from the first in Aden in 1966, through to Ni from 1969 to 81, Falklands 82 and these are things that I have been involved in.
Since then just all the ones in two Gulf Wars, Afganistan, etc etc.
I'm overwhelmed by the number of poppies that have appeared in the site.. in all thier shapes and sizes.
Yes we will remember them...

See ya Me

This year, I'm am going to Verdun with a group I belong too that do charity work occasionally....one of the charity's benefactors is the veterans support for ex soldiers of the first and second world war.
I have been once before to Verdun, and it is a scene I will never forget........to actually see the conditions in the compounds and the amount of dead is something that shocks you to the core.
I recommend a visit just to see the scale of what happened and the resting places of so many millions of people.
We learn and remember.

Tomorrow like everyone else I'll remember the soldiers who fought for ourfreedom, and I'll also spare a thought for all the others, the enemy soldiers (many who fight under duress or who are forced into it by their countries dictators) and all the civillians. Innocent parties on all sides and hope that all wars and uprising will cease soon.

I will be observing the silence tomorrow, and it will be even more poignant for me this time after visiting Buchenwald concentration camp earlier this year. I have never been to a more harrowing place, I had to leave one room in tears after seeing photographs taken by the Americans the day they liberated it. We ought to remember that war isn't just about those who fought, but ALL those who died.
On sunday my daughter will be marching with the army cadets, and laying a wreath. It's good to know that some the kids of today DO know what it is all about.

So many die to give us our freedom, and we never do enough to thank them.

...also don't forget the thousands from Commonwealth countries who also gave their lives in the pursuit of freedom and liberation.

What a fantastic bunch of people we have on this site, and hear hear to all that’s been said.
I would just like to ask that as well as remembering all our hero’s from past conflicts, lets also spare a thought for all of our brave boys and girls serving in many conflicts around the world this very day.
They are doing a job and whether you agree with the politics or not, we should be proud of them.

I couldn't agree more. Since Crimea every generation of my family has had at least one member serving in the Armed Forces. This generation it is going to be my daughter. She has been an Army cadet for three years, loves everything about the Army, and has decided to make it her career. Yes, I worry about the thought of her serving, but I am also proud of her.
