I don't know if this has been posted before, but I still find it one of the best videos for this time of year, or indeed any time of year when we need things put in perspective.
It is 6.5 mb in size and is probably best saved rather than streamed (right click - save as), choice of formats available.

For all those who fought, in all our wars and conflicts, I thank you for our freedom.

Nice Mr. Transparent,
There is a good article on CNN's website about how time is catching up with surviving WWI vets, the USVA estimates there are probably only between thirty to fifty US WWI vets left.

Agreed if it was'nt for people like my grandfather and his mates,we would not have the freedom we have today.
We praise them all for giving their lives so that we could live in peace.....until recently that is!!!!

Just got back in this evening from 2 Remembrance Day parades today - poignant and humbling as always, even for one currently paid the Queen's shilling. A memorial tablet in one of the churches was to two brothers, aged 24 and 37, killed within 5 weeks of each other during the First World War in 1917 - both were in the same Australian Regiment, and were grandsons of one of a parishioner who had emigrated to Australia. A beer in the British Legion Club after the second service brought a marvellous experience - chatting to an ex-RN chap with literally a chest-full of medals anbd watching the 10 young lads in our contingent rapt listening to him. A grand day out.
