on parade tomorow

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

spare them a moment of your day please.

too true mate. the services get the upmost respect from me always, i couldn't do what they do for us and what they have to do in our name.

But they will always get my respect and thanks, past and present.

Moved to the DarkSide
In Flanders Fields



In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

- John McCrae

climbed down off my ladder just prior to 11 this morning.. put down my drill and stood in silence for two minutes... Customer threw me a look out of the window as if to ask wtf ....
then obviously realised due to the fact I stood proud, poppy pinned to my chest, and remembered....
then , again, climbed my ladder and cracked on, customer did comment that they thought it was 'tomorrow' but just reminded them of the Eleventh hour of the Eleventh day...

no more was said.

John.


will also do the same tomorrow .. least I can do , fella
