It's about remembering the past sacrifice of our men and women of the armed services.
Excellent, glad to know you're thinking of me c100
I do think it goes beyond just remembering for the sake of remembering though. I think it's important to remember that going back two generations the oldies who are no longer with us would always talk of the importance of never letting it happen again. To me ( and my long departed grandparents ) that meant maintaining a capable military force during times of peace.
Have a nice day,
