It's called Armistice Day here in New Zealand.
I had four uncles served in WWI.
Thankfully all returned. Lots of families were not so fortunate. I read in yesterdays coverage of it in the paper than one local family lost all four of their sons.
That would be gut-wrenching.

'Lest We Forget'.

If we stand tall it's only because we're standing on the shoulders of those who went before and defended our freedoms.

Thank-you all who have gone before.
