I was in London this year for the VE/VJ day events, and during the final event at Horse Guards they played the last post. I couldn't help but burst in to tears- last time i'd heard it played i was in Basrah watching a repatriation but without revalee. An old lady in front of me took my hand and held it throughout the two minute silence, while tears streamed down my face.
I remember those who have gone before me and who gave their youth to give me freedom, and now i am giving my youth. Young and old- we are all touched be the pain of War. I will not forget, we must all remember them.
