LEST WE FORGET

It's rememberance day.

Take a moment to remember on our soldiers and the lives lost in defending our country.


I know 11 has passed, but it's still only 10 in QLD, you could do the minute of silence at 12, hence coinciding with 11 in QLD.

They shall grow not old,
As we that are left grow old.
Age shall not weary them,
Nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun,
And in the morning
We shall remember them.

If you go into the CBD at around 11, you'll find buglers/trumpeters on quite a few corners.

A few of boys in my old cadet band would've been there, if they still do it.
