Excellent post, Michael, thank you.
If I were President …
All U.S. Veterans would get today off as a paid holiday.
Huge thanks of gratitude to Uncle D. and to all our Veteran readers! We owe you!
xoxo
This is wonderful, Michael! I have several Veterans in my family and it is important to honor them and remember their sacrifices.
Any chance you still have your old Coast Guard uniform, Dev? There may be a few brats on the blog in violation of maritime laws. *G*
Really beautiful, Michael, thank you. Except for the second to last paragraph that embarrassed me to tears – well something made me cry anyhow.
Still have a couple of uniforms, Season, although it’s Devlin’s law rather than maritime that you girls should be worried I’ll enforce.
We have Rememberance day over here. Hundreds of Poppys are sold for the Royal British Leigon, for soilders and their families and to remember the dead.
The motto is ‘Lest we Forget’.
My Da never served during the war but he was in the forces.
My great uncle died during WW2, he was working on rebuilding St Pauls (London) after bomb damage. He and his mate went across the road for lunch (liquid of course) and they were both killed when a bomb was dropped somewhere nearby.
Theres a plaque in St Pauls with my Uncles name on it.
So it’s not just soilders and veterans who are remembered on this day, its for everyone who was killed or injured through acts of war.
Lets hope that one day people will learn that nothing good comes from war.
Well said, Jay, and thank you.
Michael, Jay has said all that I could say, I second her sentiments with all my heart.
Paul.
That is a lovely post Michael and I agree with your sentiments whole heartedly.
I am the only person in my family who has never been in the armed services and early next year my brother is to be deployed to Afghanistan. This is a cause close to my heart.
Went to the 11 o’ clock armistice service today at the Menin Gate in Ieper (Ypres). plenty of veterans of many wars were there today.
We will remember them.
Prefectdt
Today is a bittersweet one for me. It is Veteran’s Day, and my father served in World War 2. And it was 10 years ago today that he quietly passed away.
I’m very proud of him and I miss him…..
Dr. Ken
Thank you, Prefect. We will indeed.
Dr. Ken, did you know that by act of Congress veterans can now legally hand salute in public, flat hand to brow, head covered or not, in uniform or not, whether in a wheelchair or not?
So by law I can stand at attention to salute your father and I will. May he rest in the peace he fought to bring.
Dr. Ken – my dad was a WW2 vet and has also passed. The anniversaries are always a bit tough, no matter how many years go by. My thoughts are with you.
Michael what a lovely tribute to honor the veterans. One very special one… in deed!
Dev you made me cry with your salute to Dr. Ken in honor of his father. Lovely… in deed.
Thank you, Denise, very much.
I’m happy to thank you on my Dad’s behalf, Dev…..also a big thank you to Season and Devise….
Dr. Ken
Thank you all for the kind words and I am very glad you feel I did Veterans Day proud.
Dr. Ken, yesterday at my house I raised the American flag and held my hand over my heart in honor and remembrance of veterans I have known including my father who like yours also served in World War II. I now include your father in my remembrance.
Dr. Ken, I am sorry that I did not comment on what you said yesterday.
All I wanted to say was that I am thinking of you and your father.

Jay, meant to respond to you earlier about your great uncle. You are so correct in that you don’t have to be a member of the military to be honored for your sacrifice to your country. Your great uncle made the ultimate sacrifice for Britain during the war and is most certainly a part of this day’s remembrance. I know it’s small consolation but it must make your family proud to have him honored with a plaque on the wall of St. Paul. His sacrifice is remembered.
It does Michael, our family are very proud of Uncle Patrick.
I’m not sure sacrifice is the right wording though, and I don’t mean to turn this into a debate.
My Uncle couldnt fight for his country because of polio as a child, the forces wouldnt take him because his heart was to weak.
But how many others lost or gave their lives for their country, Evacuees, factory workers, air raid wardens, teachers, shop keepers, fishermen, farmers etc.
How about the jews in the concentration camps, they lost their lives, not for honour or glory for their country, but because of what they believed.
Disabled people, Hitler killed them too.
Im sure that all over the world, innocent people have lost or given their lives during a time of war.
In our family we buy the poppys and wear them until remembrance day, then we burn them to honour the millions of lives that were taken and the lives that will yet be taken.
Lest We Forget
What do we forget when we remember
What are the stories left untold
What do we think each November
As we march down that glory road
As we march down that gory road
One hundred million
Don’t come home from war
Another eight hundred million
Who lived to bear its scar
Who lived to bear its scar
Lest we forget
What they were dying for
Lest we forget
What they were killing for
Lest we forget
What the hell it was for
What do we forget when we remember…

Indeed, Jay, lest we forget, and your Uncle Patrick will always be fondly remembered, especially with the lovely tradition your family follows. Thank you for the poem.
Got another hand salute for your dad, Michael.
Thank you, Bro, much appreciated.
Thank you, Michael and thank you, Poppy. Lovely sentiments from both of you, and they helped give this past Veterans Day a little extra meaning and sentiment….
