remembrance Sunday what does it mean to you the kids today don't realize how lucky we all are the freedom we all have there's no one alive who can remember the great war or the wars before it there's never been peace in the world since the war to end wars our soldiers have been involved in conflict peace keeping and other such items What we should think about is the pointless waste of life on all sides if the politicians want to fight let them get on with it don't make my son or others sons do it for you your in power cos we put you there strive for peace. My father never went away to fight in the war he worked on the railway driving trains through the blitz carrying troupes ammunition medical supplies fuel and passengers was actually a moving target for any enemy planes he worked out of old oak common London along with hundreds of other rail workers to keep the front lines supplied the wounded cared for and people moving black out was no good on a steam engine the fire box put a glow under the engine that could be seen for miles a sitting target on the western region there was no cover except a tunnel in Wiltshire and at Dawlish this run was mainly troupes and ammunition to Devon what im getting at is there were more people who gave their lives not my dad but hundreds like him my dad survived a lot of his friends did not the people who worked in the factories making the stuff that was needed the people from Coventry in fact all the back up the civilians wheres there remembrance wheres their campaign medals. when i was 20 my dad said to me when i was your age i was dodging bombs how the fook can you dodge bombs in a train its on rails thank god the enemy had bad aiming but they did not miss all the time my dad was lucky thousands of others wernt this year i would like all of you to remember the losses on both sides military and civilian in the stupidity of war the losses on both sides in all conflict listen to the words of the green fields of france.

My Father was a regular and went through the war, one of my uncles was one of the first to free a concentration camp.

The saying "They gave their today, for our tomorrow" is true.

Some of those who today hate the military and what the UK stands for should realise, that if it wasnt for those that died during the war, may not be in this Country or, possibly alive today.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning we will remember. For all our service personnel who gave the ultimate price in combat.

Remembrance Sunday is very poignant for me and my family. My mother was killed in a car crash on her way home from work. Us kids were waiting for her to get home from work so we could go to the remembrance service. We did that every year to pay our respects

My grandfather and great grandfather both served in WW2. Ive always for as long as I can remember attended a memorial parade. This year it means more than ever to me, my cousin has recently passed out, my best friend has served and lots of our friends are still serving.

Every year it humbles me.
