Good for you Vinnie! Usually I plant some flags at the cemetery but I'm in the middle of a late hunting season. I'll pause a moment when the sun comes up Sunday morning and say a prayer. Hopefully then I'll plant a deer in my truck and pause again in thanks.

From the poem "For the Fallen":

They went with songs to the battle, they were young.
Straight of limb, true of eyes, steady and aglow.
They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted,
They fell with their faces to the foe.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.

The latter verse has become our Act Of Remembrance.

I'm not sure of the protocol in the US but we have a two minutes silence at 11am on the 11th which I attempt to observe wherever I am each year.

As a Vet, I remember all year round and not on a specific day.

I wear a Poppy on my hat all year round, but I have replace the pin with a cloisonne breast cancer pin to remember my late wife. I was asked by a reporter why.

I want to take this time to thank the Vets for their serve and sacrifices.

And to steal what Vince ended on.

LEST WE FORGET.

As a veteran I would like to say thank you to all my brothers and sisters that have stood shoulder to shoulder with me through time.
