OH well hello here i am again.. bumping my remembrance day thread. This holiday is still really important to me, but this year it is tinged with a huge WTF. As you can see above, i posted a picture of my mum's dad who served in the war.. i used to be proud of him, even though i knew he was an abusive alcoholic who treated everyone horribly and eventually died from liver failure. Well, i used to hold on to the fact that he was a war vet and hopefully that would make me overlook his failures as a father and a grandfather. However.. a few days ago i found out that not only was he an abusive alcoholic, but he was also a raging child molester. One of his victims was my cousin, who he apparently molested for years, starting from when she was a baby. She remembers alot of it, and has had extensive therapy. Before he died, she asked him, "why me?" he told her "you're the weak one." (she has cerebral palsy).. so now i've removed his picture everywhere i could, (obviously not quotes) and i don't hope he rests in peace.. anyway...

i'll now focus on the other people in my family and their sacrifice, and be grateful for their service etc.

Jeez, that's harsh Sorry to hear about that Megan.

Hahahahaha. somebody’s “remembrance” is pretty poor.

quote:

BUNGLING football bosses have been left red-faced after a special Remembrance matchday program used a picture of Nazi troops.
The shocking image was on the front cover of Airdrie United's magazine for Saturday's Scottish League Division Two clash against Livingston.

Club officials insisted they thought it showed Australian soldiers.
But the snap actually features nurses handing out water to grinning German soldiers on a train during World War Two.

On the photo are the words: "Lest We Forget" plus a PoppyScotland logo and the slogan: "Supporting Our Heroes".

Program designers wanted to combine the game with Remembrance Day tributes but complained that another picture featuring a train looked contrived. They finally settled on the picture which they thought showed Australian troops returning from battle.

But after the program had been sold to hundreds of fans at the match - which Airdrie lost 1-0 - an eagle-eyed supporter spotted the mistake and rang the club.

Airdrie United secretary Ann Marie Ballantyne said the picture was supplied to them by PoppyScotland but the organisation denied the claim.

Airdire United Chairman Jim Ballantyne has now apologised for the mistake.

He said: 'I would like to unreservedly apologise for the error on our Remembrance programme which resulted in the wrong photograph being used for the front cover.'

The gaffe was the subject of mocking posts on supporters' websites.
Some fans were convinced the image had to be a fake, with one saying: "Surely nobody is that stupid?"

this is the only thread i bump once a year. It's rememberance day, and like every other year, we went to the park to pay our respects. i take this holiday seriously as i am grateful for sacrifice so many people have made to ensure we have our freedom.

thank you steelwolf, t-bills, yohan and VAR for your service, as well as anyone else here i have forgotten. also, how awkward is the whole child molesting grandpa part of this thread.. still pretty horrified about that whole deal.
