Those who forget the past are doomed to make its mistakes. All the more reason to not forget those who ensured our freedom.
I enjoy learning from whalebones daily reminders, it’s a chance to remember and to learn about true sacrifice and hardship.
I personally enjoy reading up about the Second World War, as both sets of my grandparents have since past away, so I don’t have the oportunity to hear it from the horses mouth so to speak. At school we were taught about the Romans…sorry I didn’t personally know any of them, however I did know some people that had been involved in the war and it would have been great if schools could have taught us about modern history.
I am lucky though that in my line of work (in the nursing profession) I have met some truly amazing people with their own individual stories to tell and yes we have shown our respect when various anniversaries happen.
Their memories do live on, their sacrifice not forgotten….
My thoughts are with all veterans, no matter which battle is being commerated. Today is for those veterans of the Battle of Britain. I sincerley thank you all.
