Cheers to that!
Every year when this date comes around I think hard about the men and women that served and went abroad selflessly; linked arm-in-arm with our American and Commonwealth brothers and sisters against an unfathomable terror across the ocean.
I find a vet, shake his hand and say thanks.
Thank you for your sacrifice.
Thank you for your courage and
Thank you for my freedom
Even in an age which seems to have forgotten, I have not.
