Remembrance Sunday - Nov 10th 2024 Lest We Forget

[bathlad61]

Having lost a son only 23 yrs old, in combat overseas, today always a difficult day. Memories of him growing up etc, etc, flood back. Miss him each day, a massive lost, but proud of him and many others who wanted to do their bit.

Can't imagine how hard it must be at this time of year particularly. I can only hope that the sentiments of all those who commemorate those who have fallen in the service of their country is some small crumb of comfort to you and yours.

For those that aren't aware. Columbia is an "ivy league school". One of the most difficult to get accepted and expensive schools in the US.

Glad my dad and other family veterans aren't alive to see this garbage.

Unfortunately, although unsurprisingly, this kind of affront to the memory of those who made the ultimate sacrifice in order that those who came after could live in liberty isn't confined to the US;

Would that those who wish to benefit from the liberties available today paid some semblance of due regard to those who died to deliver the freedoms they take so much for granted. Fat chance.

The harsh reality for all of us. Thoughts are with you on this special occasion.

Ohh and remember this day we were atrocious against the bottom team with a fluke goal and a late one to overcome them.

Wake up and don't do what they tell you, Another thing if someone invades like Ukraine and another sending people to die under false pretense's like Blair and Bush started with lies and the consequences still ringing with the 2 towers and other atrocious things all started by lies. The sooner everyone's f off back to there countries and yes includes me back to Greece and live in harmony, to mixing every culture in the world which asks for trouble the better the world would be. Make things in your country like we used to instead of closing down your own factories and business in favor of cheap and nasty products from somewhere else. Again all political and power for a few while the rest pick up the peace's.

I don't deny that political failures resulted in Hitler's territorial ambitions going unchecked, until the Nazis invaded Poland with whom the UK had a mutual defence agreement, but....

I know (emphasis, KNOW) what is right and what is wrong when it comes to my country and its territorial integrity, and anyone or anything that threatens that will and MUST be resisted with any and all resources available to me and those who feel as I do (the majority). And that's not to enrich the already rich and powerful, it's simply the right thing to do.
