Post by: patrice on November 11, 2010, 18:59:39 PM: yes I agree
I always attend a service on remembrance sunday
I watch with pride when my father and his twin brothers both ex paras from the origional airbourne regiment and served in Arnhem, taking part adorned with their medals and still fit enough to march.

I will be there Sunday not just to show respect to my father but to all those past and those present serving in the forces.

Hope you didn't interpret my post as a criticism It certainly wasn't intended as such. Quite the contrary, any post remembering the fallen is to be applauded.

My post was merely an observation, Greeting Section has 2,000+ reads whereas "All things that have nothing to do with Turkey" has 44,000+.

That having been said, I can see that some British people living in Calis may not appreciate me suggesting that Section.

Thanks for posting in whatever Section.

We will remember them.

There is a version of the link a posted sung in English and German which is equally striking.

Agreed. We WILL remmber them.
