For me today is about those that have fallen,but also its about my father. Born in 1910 and he then joined the British army in 1936 into the Royal Ulster Rifles. As history shows the second world war started in 1940.
For us WW2 started September 3rd 1939. For the US and USSR 1941.
It is important to remember the sacrifices made by previous generations especially at a time when our young are still be asked by our politicians to make the ultimate sacrfice. Lest we forget.
