I decide me, myself to enlist to remember their sacrifice as they gave their today for my tomorrow same with many other soldiers, and other armed forces members.

This post is to remember all the dead and for you if you wish to pay your respects. I would like if you wish to put this picture in your thread to pay the respects to the wounded or the dead

Remembrance to my amazing grandfathers, one who fought for the US Navy and the other for the Army. Both of them were involved in medical work, and undoubtedly saved the lives of many men.

To all those who died in spite of the work my grandfathers did. Rest in Peace.

EDIT: I actually think this is the wrong board for a thread like this.
Doesn't matter.

Its for the regiments, you know.

One of the most important events in my year. Great respect for men and women who put their lifes on the line so that others may live, have freedoms so often disregarded and so that the majority of people can live "normal" lives. Its one of the greatest deeds a human can do, offering up there life so others may live.

RIP to fallen heroes.

My Great Uncle was the first man from my village to be killed in the war, he was a Private in the 2nd Battalion the Royal Warickshire Regiment. He died on the 2nd of December 1914, he was only 19 years old.

RIP to the lions led by donkeys

and at the going down of the sun, we will remember them. *Salute*

Just a piece of Trivia, why was the last post called the last post?

Answer

Spoiler

Because in the days of the British empire going out to wars across the world, at night before the camp would call lights out, the officer on duty would go from post to post (sentry posts) checking all of them are manned to the correct order in the correct manner in compliance with British army standards. When the officer to go the last post, lights out would be called. Everyone would go to sleep.

Some may think, I thought they played it and then Reveille for that past forever? No. The last post was written after the Reveille call was in service. The last post became used post-WWI.

Edit: I hope my trivia didn't make this subject 'joky' because  remembrance day is a serious day of remembering and reconciling.

Ayei guess this is our Veterans Day in America. I shall remember my grandfather who served in the Pacific with the US Army during WWII (passed 10 years ago), and also my uncle who had just finished 2 tours in Afghanistan and any past or current soldier sacrificing themselves for the good of others.
