From one veteran to all others:

I want to thank you for your service to our country.

Hope you're having a great day.



Isn't this an international group?

What does that have to do with it?

Leave it to the Brits to screw up Remembrance day.

Disarming Remembrance Day

November 9, 2010: A hundred teenage members of the British Army Cadet
Force in Plymouth have been suddenly told that they would not be able
to carry rifles, as they traditionally have, during the annual
November 11th Remembrance Day parade. The reason given was that it
was inappropriate to have the teenage cadets carrying rifles in
public because it glamorizes weapons. The cadets disagreed, but the
decision stood.

Snipped

From a Brit.

You really don't need to carry arms to remember those that fell in war, in
fact, there were millions in the UK who didn't. This isn't America where
carrying arms is almost mandatory and guns are worshipped as gods!

Let us do as we wish, as you do in your country - after all, that's what the
men who fought these wars died for.
