The weather always seems to be cold and rainy or snow which helps to remind me of the misery the men went through in the trenches. We don't have many World War II vets left; however, there were some young men who had been on tour of duty in Afghanistan, and one private who laid a wreath in memory of his friend who was killed over there. <br />Your post was very moving. It's an incredible gift to write about the history of your brave family so that we feel we know them personally.<br />SharonSharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00386696011019324550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-88510949671163422.post-22024690721604832112009-11-21T09:28:27.945-06:002009-11-21T09:28:27.945-06:00Fascinating!

I so wish I had such stories and history of my own family. Sadly, there is no one left to tell them. I have only dim memories.Autumn Leaveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04010044052621228719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-88510949671163422.post-70010994199120210022009-11-11T23:07:28.107-06:002009-11-11T23:07:28.107-06:00Julie, that was beautiful..you have done them prou...Julie, that was beautiful..you have done them proud..as they have for all of us :-)Colleen - the AmAzINg Mrs. Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06230264141748182037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-88510949671163422.post-24866449988613568252009-11-11T15:47:53.187-06:002009-11-11T15:47:53.187-06:00Here ( Canada ) we call it Remembrance Day.

Shortly before the war broke out he had been the youngest Sgt in the Black Watch. His older brother had been killed in South Africa during the boer war.<br /><br />On the news I noticed this is the first Nov 11 that there are no surviving WWI veterans in the UK.<br /><br />I recall it wasn't that many years ago that Canada lost the last of the Boer war vets. We lost our last VC winner about 2 years ago.<br /><br />All in all I'm glad I choose to serve. I became the first commissioned officer in the family. ( Shorty after my father was commissioned. Odd having your Dad calling you Sir. )<br /><br />It may sound like an oxymoron but no one hates War more than the soldier.Sid Brechinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00861501123102122129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-88510949671163422.post-42895942424316408872009-11-11T08:51:11.073-06:002009-11-11T08:51:11.073-06:00Lovely post Julie as we all remember those who die...Lovely post Julie as we all remember those who died in wars both past and present.Rowanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13679130612798888266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-88510949671163422.post-12480252829746358152009-11-11T08:23:28.883-06:002009-11-11T08:23:28.883-06:00a moving post Julie x x xa moving post Julie x x xLeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09573431221299174647noreply@blogger.com
