[color=#000000:post_uid0]They shall grow not old, as we who are left go on.
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, we shall remember them.[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]The last Remembrance Day ceremony I went to I had the pleasure of spending over an hour with a WWII veteran. It was cool.

He talked about being in France, and pointed out the name of a V.C. awardee on the town memorial. Charles Hoey. Had a school named after him in town. My school is currently located in that building.

(The Victoria Cross, pictured here (http://www.chapter-one.com/vc/images/site/n_vcbig.jpg), is the highest award for valour in battle awarded to British/Commonwealth forces.)

Didn't see him this year. Never caught his name. I wonder where he is...[/color:post_uid0]
