Will we remember them?
I always find remembrance services very moving. The last post makes me cry. I don't know whether that is the legacy of a good history teacher, the product of growing up in a city surrounded by RAF bases or merely the fact that at times (especially when the weather is unpleasant and darkness is upon us) I can be an overly emotional crybaby. But still, the fact remains that on Armistace day I
do
think about 'they that shall not grow old'. And about how they were my age or younger when they stopped ageing.This definitely makes me stop to think and be grateful. I don't think the younger generations are
forgetting the sacrifices made by these sodiers at all. In fact, with more and more dying in the conflict in the middle east, we are in danger of having to add recent memories to the list.
