Dingle Dingle, great post, brought tears to my eyes, I am of a generation, born in the sixties, twenty years after the second world war finished, that remember seeing many veterans living in our neighbourhoods. Real people, some of them broken by their struggles and their losses. People we can relate to. We know what they sacrificed, we appreciate that many young men and women gave up their tomorrow's for our todays. I fear the modern generation, not all but a large proportion, do not share in this. They have different ideologies, they are happy to abuse their rights and freedoms without appreciating that freedom isn't free it comes at a price, someone has to pay, just ask Ukraine. they lack a sense of duty, shared culture, pride and patriotism in our great country and our military. It upsets and shame me how few people you see wearing poppies nowadays.

THEY SHALL GROW NOT OLD AS WE THAT OUR LEFT GROW OLD
AGE SHALL NOT WEARY THEM NOR THE YEARS CONDEM
AT THE GOING DOWN OF THE SUN AND IN THE MORNING
WE WILL REMEMBER THEM
