Lest we forget
LEST WE FORGET
At the passing of the night time,
When dawn begins to show,
We'll pause a thoughtful moment,
For those we used to know.
At the passing of the day time,
In the evening's afterglow,
We'll pause a thoughtful moment,
For those we used to know.
Ian Adrian Millar
Please remember those who served

Re: Lest we forget
Doing my volunteer bit today with a group of men of various ages.
At 1100 hours we stood and viewed the service from the Canberra War Memorial, not a sound was heard, just a few moist eyes.
A new guy began today, from Uk been out here for many years now.
He told me his father was on the D Day landings on he thought Juno beach.
His father he said told of some horrific scenes and actions then.
Happy daze John in Oz.
Life is too short to blend in.
