    To all current and ex-servicemen and women out there,

    Thanks!

    The family joined the local dawn service this morning again. What a moving experience.

    I recommend everyone participate at least once in their lifetime.

    Reminds me of an epitaph on a Burmese memorial that was read to us by an ex-sevicemen at a recent school ANZAC service.

    It goes something along the lines

    Remember us well
    for we gave all of our tomorrows
    so you could have yours!

    Very touching post.
    Importantly too is those that are currently serving. These times we welcome them home on R & R after 6 months.
    My Grandfather like many others was away for five years in WWII. Five years……..of fear and horror and sickness. What they endured seems so incomprehencable.
    Then the fear of the telegram boy as he came up the street wondering if it was your house he was to deliver at with the painful news to those left at home.
    MMMMmmmm we have alot to be grateful for.

    Regards
