Thanks indeed.
Just watched the memorial service to commemorate the end of the first world war, 90 years to the day. Still 3 veterans from that war still alive, the oldest of which was 112 years old.
I was in Belgium a couple of months ago and visited the war graves built on the site of battles on the Western front, extreemly moving experience, some of the soldiers buried there were as young as 16. Also visited the huge memorial at Ypres in Belgium where they are all remembered.
A lot of very brave men have died for our freedom over the years in various battles across the globe, to whom we should be eternally grateful.

Like you say......... THANKS.

I took the usual time out today and thought of all those who made the world a better place for the likes of me. They were/are far greater people than I will ever be.

Diolch yn fawr
