Something to think about...
As you sit reading this, you are probably in quite a comftable chair. Sat in a nice house. you'vve probably got something besides you to drink or eat and are quite happy and content.
Well, pause for a moment to think on this. 90 years ago today my great grandad, like the (great) grandfathers of many people here, was crouching in a trench full of blood, shit and mud in a field near the Somme with a shoulder full of shrapnel desperately clinging to his best mate int he vain hope he would be able to keep him alive until a medical corp that couldn't cope would get there and save him.  In war there are no winners, only losers.

I think every european country suffered under the two world wars, there is nobody that I know, who doesnt have a war dead in his family (My grandma´s brother).

To those you died, and to those who had to live with the memories.

Yes, we must never forget those who laid down their lives, those who made the ultimate sacrifice, so we could live in "freedom".
