November 11 - Lest we forget

[Nan]

[color=#000000ost_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, 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...[/colorost_uid0]
