"All gave some, some gave all."

A "Thank You" is never enough, but that, our gratitude and remembering what they gave is the best we can do.

I don't need a special day to remember those that have died for this country, they are on my mind everyday.  I can't watch a war movie without tearing up.  As a 20 year retired veteran that's been there, I say sorry and thanks.

Same here WOM, 22 years. Thanks for posting this thread Doc. 

Yes...well, my family has been in all the wars, from before day 1 ...and served, I chose a different army to serve in, but everyone who serves or served are my brothers and sisters forever. 

I just wish your title didn't have to remind me of Billy Ray Cyrus.....  

I have a few family members serving, and that have served. There is a special place in Heaven for those who serve. 

Seems time has sure changed.

Couple of weeks ago we in Oz [and NZ] 'celebrated' 100 years since Gallipoli  .... a battle which changed our countries forever.

It was the sort of conflict that saw 9 Victoria Crosses earned.

That is a phenomenal number for one action.

The origin of the 'ANZAC'  tradition.

At the going down of the sun......
