Thank you.
Thank you to those who have fought for us;

It is so refreshing to see you guys posting about the two world wars.

My Grandmothers house was flattened by a 'doodlebug' german aerial bomb. So many people (young ones generally) fail to realise that without all those young men and women giving so selflessly, for the greater good, from so many nations, they might be speaking a different language today.

I can only offer my thanks, my gratitude to those brave souls.

Both my grandfathers were involved in the second world war and both were deeply affected.
Though, with all that bad, there was some light- my granny. My gramps met his bride on a boat coming to Canada from England and that was his reason for fighting- for his beloved's country.
He never spoke of the war after that, the only stories I heard were thsoe from my mother and on rare occasions my grandmother.

I thank anyone who fought the way they did; for love, for peace, for dignity.
