I’m opening our Remembrance Sunday church service and minutes silence.
It’s a good reminder not to take for granted the freedoms that we enjoy in this country thanks to the sacrifice of so many.

I think its great to remember our war hero's, especially our first world war war hero's..

 

Considering how many lost their lives its only right that an especial homage is performed for them, the soldiers that fought, the soldiers that lost their lives.

I found out yesterday one of the blokes i served with took his own life awhile back.

We all try too meet up every now and again and thought remembrance day(well the day before) would be good this year.

Paul was the nicest bloke,everyone liked him even the RSM who was the worst kind of human being.

Still a bit numb 

He split from his wife,probably ptsd and went unto a downward spiral,alcohol dependant and homeless at the end.

What really pisses me off is the whole remember those who are dead wear a poppy..

What about those who are alive and struggling?

Why isnt more being done to help them?

What about those who are still serving in active operations overseas,why are those troops depending on families sending them boots,scarfs,gloves and 101 other items to survive in theatre when our shitty government does bugger all to help em

I sorry for the rant but this time of year and yesterdays debacle has really got me angry.
