Its holding my glass of whisky as I raise it in toast to those we honor today.

 

No word - just a poem.

 

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 will remember them.

 

Have a nice quiet remembrance, veterans or armistice day where ever you may be.

I always found that Veterans Day / Armistice Day being held in the late fall strangely appropriate....something about the colors of the turning leaves before winter with an event that draws you back to the spring time of your life. The ones you remember are forever young, frozen in time in your memory. So I'll skip the one word for a few that always resonate with me.

 

"We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother"....Henry V
