Remembrance Day

This is post is to commemorate those that died defending this country from hostile nations of the world that have threaded these shores, be they members of the British armed forces of those of the Commonwealth. Today we owe a great deal to the sacrifice of many who fell on the battlefields of the world, whose lives were lost often because of greed and empire building, religion or lack of understanding between nations

I just hope that we can in future talk and understand one another and the sense killing between nations and religions can come to an end, and we can live in peace with our fellow men with out prejudice or hate. It will take strong men to stop the conflicts of today, but stop they must for the waste of life caused by wars is unacceptable if we are all are to live in free and civilised society. Call me an idealist if you like, but having known in my life the damage hate and jealously can create I know these to be some of the most destructive forces in our world.
