Rememberance Day (11/11/2009)

Remembrance Day is the day we commemorate the sacrifices of the armed forces and civillians in times of war. It falls on the 11th day of the 11th month, the anniversary of the end of World War I. At 11 O'Clock in the morning we have a minutes silence to remember those who have died protecting our country and us. The Last Post is played.

Ode Of Remembrance
"They went with songs to the battle, they were young.
Straight of limb, true of eyes, steady and aglow.
They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted,
They fell with their faces to the foe.
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." LEST WE FORGET.

WE WILL REMEMBER THEM.
