"The Eleventh hour of the Eleventh day of the Eleventh month..."
Veteran's Day 2013
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 shall remember them.
A heartfelt thank you to veterans all over the world
who have fought and given their lives or their youth to bring peace.
Papa -- US Army 1941-46. Served in the Philippines.

ReplyDeleteNice post. Most of us have no idea what it must have been like for the people who went or the people who stayed behind and waited.

What fitting words on that stone plaque.
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful words on the stone!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your visit. Actually Remembrance Day is not observed in the Netherlands on 11th November, but on 4th May and followed by Liberation Day on 5th May. But I feel connected to R. D as my father sailed the oceans during the war with the allied forces, transporting weapons from America to Great Britain and Australia. They were attacked by German and
Japanese submarines.
And the British rescued my mother , sisters and me from the Japanese concentration camps.
Greta tribute!
ReplyDeleteRemembrancer day..
A fine tribute to Veterans. I sometimes wonder about those American soldiers my Grandma used to tell me stories about. One became her friend because of semaphore signalling :) They both knew it.
