Remembrance for a veteran is personal, our memories had lives we shared for a while. We wear our poppies with pride, not to glorify war, but to honour the war dead.
their yesterdays gave
us the freedom of today
let us not forget
We veterans are a privileged group who know what it is to put our lives on the line, day after day, in the service of others.
we grieve for lost
comrades, and honour their
sacrifice for us
In the UK, there are veterans of so many conflicts who carry physical and mental scars from their days of service. Serving our Queen/King and country forms who we are.
