In a world of Chaos give a moment to respect those that have lost everything - LEST WE FORGET.

I was sent this post last year and it has never had a more poignant meaning than it does today.

For all those who are afraid I appreciate these are scary times, but over the next few weeks, "LEST we FORGET" the sacrifices of many so that we can have the choices and freedom of today.

Give a second thought to many of the #families and #children left behind, due to the unselfish sacrifice made by others.

That is why we are #proud to be part of an #organisation that supports those #returning and the #reservists and their #families and would recommend to any to see how you too can get involved.

I saw a boy marching, with medals on his chest,

He marched alongside Soldiers, marching six abreast,

He knew it was Remembrance Day, he walked along with pride,

And did his best to keep in step with the soldiers by his side.

And when the march was over the boy looked rather tired.

A soldier said. "Whose medals son?" to which the boy replied,,

"They belong to my Dad, but he did not come back.

He died out in Afghanistan, up on a Helmand Track".

The boy looked rather sad, and a tear came to his eye,

But the soldier said, "Don't worry son, I will tell you why,"

He said, "Your dad marched with us today, all the blooming way,

All us soldiers knew he was here, it's like that on Remembrance Day."

The boy looked rather puzzled he didn't understand

But the soldier went on talking, and started to wave his hand,

"For this great land we live in, there's a price we have to pay,

To keep our Country free, and fly our flag today.

He said, "Your dad marched with us today, all the blooming way,

But the price was that some soldier his precious life must give,

For you to go to school, my son, and worship God at will.

Somebody had to pay the price, so our soldiers paid the bill.

Your dad died for us my son, for all things good and true.

And I hope you can understand these words I've said to you".

The boy looked up at the soldier and after a little while,

His face changed expression, and he said with a beautiful smile,

"I know my dad marched here today, this our #RemembranceDay,

I know he did, I know he did, all the blooming way!.......
