100 Years - Remembrance Day 11/11/2017

I do not know the artist but the message in the painting below is understood. If you haven't done so and you see a person selling Poppies do stop and buy one; even if you give 5p it goes to a good cause.

REMEMBRANCE DAY

11th NOVEMBER (1917-2017)

We stand on the shoulders of those who fought and gave us "freedom and liberties" which are so easily taken for granted today.

11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month

Poppy Day is also referred to and known as Remembrance Day. For children, schools or anyone who may want to know how this day came about, there is useful reference material at Remembrance_Day. For other reference materials look here: d-day-6th-june.

A Field of Remembrance

A Field of Remembrance

In the Christian religion, and I put my name down as one who believes, there is a poignant, moving verse in New Testament, St.John, 15:13:

"Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends"  

That testimony is the tribute we pay to all of the brave who were remembered at the Field of Remembrance in Wiltshire, yesterday.

The Wiltshire Times reported memorable coverage of yesterday's Service and Days Events. Their online contribution can be read at the link below:

Poppies and Heroes - get involved......

Each year I run the Poppies and Heroes reminder appeal. Those who lose their lives in service of our country, they are our boys and girls, sons and daughters, brothers and sisters, our family. Where we expect them to protect us, it is a small return of our duty to their families that when their lives are lost we remember, we share and we console so that their mothers and fathers know we stand with them, beside them, in their loss.
