I am just thinking how lucky they are to be able to have the chance to be oblivious to the two minutes silence after all if it was not for the men and women who gave everything that moment would not exist now,We must never forget EVER.
Unbelievably, there’s a phone-in on the radio discussing the idea put forward by someone official (didn’t catch who) suggesting that after next year’s 60th anniversary of the end of WW2, that we will have done “enough” remembering and we should switch our focus to perhaps using the occasion to remember those in the civil service who have died in the course of duty – e.g. firemen, police officers etc. They of course deserve remembering, probably at a greater level than they currently are, but to suggest we have ever done “ENOUGH” remembering with regards to our service dead fills me with disgust. Just another example of the PC/woolly liberals/moral “do-gooders” atempting to ensure we water down anything remotely worth caring about or believing in. Perhaps this same individual would like to personally write to the surving family members and comrades of these deceased WW1 & 2 veterans and tell them we’ve finished with their sacrifice, on your way, nothing to see here? 😡 😡 😡 😡 😡 😡
We have a moral-bound obligation to remember these people. No earthly force or government can release us from it by saying “enough”.
“They grow not old as we who 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”
