Lest we forget

[Pussy]

Good turnout at the New Plymouth cenotaph this morning.
Bloody great to have the freedom to pay my respects.

We will remember them.....

[Gone Burger]

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.

Lets we forget - we will remember them.

Our heros, gone but never forgotten.

Upper Hutt Ceremony was lovely too as always. Proud to be a Kiwi

Anne will be off later to Play Last Post on the Cornet for the Leigh boys, she does it every year.

I get a lump in my throat reading Ataturk's words....


Those heroes who shed their blood and lost their lives, you are now lying in the soil of a friendly country. Therefore rest in peace. There is no difference between the Johnnies and the Mehmets to us where they lie side by side in this country of ours. You, the mothers who sent their sons from far away countries wipe away your tears, your sons are now lying in our bosoms and are in peace. After having lost their lives on this land they become our sons as well.

We will remember them.
