Teaching todays generation
There have been a number of articles in the newspapers over the last 2 or 3 das about 'the younger generations' not knowing or understanding the significance of today. Well, my two young children have been studying Armistice as part of their primary school history project; and this in turn has led to a whole host of questions to me 'cos daddy is in the air force'.
I will be taking both of them to a local parade on sunday, as a way of preserving in them why we must never forget all those, from all conflicts, who have made the ultimate sacrifice.
I'm sure there are many other schools across the country (along with many 'service brats') that are all doing their bit as well, so lets be thankful that all is not lost.
