Remembrance Sunday

Just attended service at local war memorial in Sutton to pay respects to not only all those who paid the ultimate sacrifice, those men and women in our armed forces but also those who were killed and injured on this day in 1987 in Enniskillen

We will remember them
 
OK I'll be the first to post the controversial point of view. Utmost respect to those who paid the highest price but I don't really fall for the whole propoganda poppy thing. Surely the best way to respect people who died would be to prevent anything like that ever happening again. We live in a world where governments are lobbied by arms dealers to spend more and more taxpayers money on defence. Without wars these companies are obsolete. If the CEO's of major arms dealers and politicians had to fight on the front line, wars would end tomorrow.
