As normal, the pressures of the current job ensure that I only get to review the forums sporadically; however, every now and then a gem such as this arrives. Those of us still in the job and proudly doing what is asked of us, despite the 'best' efforts of those who just do not understand our way of life, will, I'm sure take some sort of comfort from the much more elequent words of those who have gone before us.
It has always struck me that it is only those who take up the call to arms who really understand what Rememberance day means, and that there is a perculiar irony that those of us who wage war, would rather not as we know what it is like.
I know I'm going to be on the recieving end of a few posts, but it has been 'a bad week at the office' and the thread hit a nerve.
