Remembrance Day - November 11

[brendam]

Thank you for starting this post.  I have been thinking all day about all the people lost in the wars.  I will put this post in memory of my Great Uncle James W. Clooney who was killed in action on January 16, 1917 near Vimy.  My Grandfather (his brother) was with him when he was killed.  I would also like to post a memoriam to my Uncle Wilfred Clooney who was killed during the Korean War. 

And to the many many people who served, were killed and took part in all the wars ... Lest we forget.

A special thanks to all those that contributed to this thread for 2006.

Hopefully, 2007 will give others a chance to add to or comment on
a name or two.

Saw the Sunday's Service of Remembrance at the Cenotaph on TV and, as usual, found it very moving.

Everytime I see and hear the Band of the Royal Marines, I think of my darling Dad, and get very choked up.  He was a Marine, and although, mercifully, he came back from the war in 1946, he was very traumatised by his expereiences, and couldn't work for over two years. 

In his later years, he became very involved in the British Legion, and we still miss him lots.

Looking forward to a current year uodate"
