remember

i say it every year, but i'll say it again: no matter what you think of the reasons for fighting wars, the men and women who actually go and fight them deserve our respect and support. those who do not come back deserve remembrance.

good places that help with your money:

poppyscotland
royal british legion
erskine
help for heroes
combat stress
mark wright project

and good words to make you think:
war poets and remembrance

---------

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.
From Laurence Binyon's poem For the Fallen, September 1914
