Sad to watch….A once great superpower scurrying back into the political and moral dark ages. I fear that in the end we all lose here, with four more years of this regime looming…..and the consequences that will bring. For those on here who believe in such things I say “God help us all!”

What an exceptional note to have closed this thread on. Exactly right.

Anyone see Bush’s speech the other night? I think every English teacher in the nation must’ve went into cardiac arrest…

Hi guys :),

I certainly wont pretend to be well versed in battles of WWI , or Gallipoli, to be specific.
A lot of what you have said in this thread is over my head; for obvious reasons, and if anyone wants to tell me about Gallipoli and ANZAC day privatley- I’m happy to hear it.

What I wanted to say here is that; well, maybe 20- 30,000 people may not seem to be alot. But, it seems here that Veterans day is more or less ignored each year. What I find ironic is that bank and government employees have the day off…but, the actual veterans dont get it off :rolleyes:

So, when I read about these memorial services bringing out huge crowds; I’m glad to see it. One thing I have learned from this site; and from my visit to the UK in Nov. is that anniversaries and veterans are taken very very seriously. I don’t see that here in the States. I like to say it’s because I’m not really looking; but I wasn’t actively looking for memorials in Britain either…

Veterans affairs is an issue that seems like it could use work, everywhere. But as far as remembering the battles, and the people who fell….it’s good. You say “Always remember” and “Never forget” and you mean it. That’s…good, very good.

So, I’m glad this thread was pointed out to me, and I’m sorry I don’t know as much as I should know about the date itself.

Sorry, just leaving! :rolleyes:

Anyway, does anyone have any helpful guidelines, references, or advice to offer somebody who is branching off into the realms of the potentially very expensive?
