Ode of Remembrance

[silicon_toad2000]

They went with songs to the battle, they were young.
Straight of limb, true of eyes, steady and aglow.
They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted,
They fell with their faces to the foe.
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.

Lest we forget

[Lagerlout666]

i took the kids to our local parade. I have to say i have never seen so many people turn out, i used to go when i was in the aircadets as a kid and it used to be us and a few old boys. It was a real nice show and all the cadets and the scouts and stuff marching for a small town i think everyone was their. Police turned up in droves to block the roads off. It was very moving and i can for the first time in a very very long time say it made me be proud to be British.
