As a soldiers wife, this is a rather poignant day for me. My mind is filled with the names and images for the people we have lost, some I know, most I don't. It's also a day where I am thankful. Thankful that I have my wonderful husband with me still somewhere in the world when there are wives I know that sadly, do not.
I will be marking the time rather unceremoniously today, at home alone, but I will bow my head and think about all those things and send a little prayer for the guys we have lost this year and in previous years. On Sunday I will be going to the parade to pay my respects.
Please take the time to remember, wherever you are, to give two minutes of your time for those that gave their lives is the least we can do.
Stand down Soldiers and Rest in Peace.
It's an unimaginable sacrifice and our respect is the least we owe. A lovely post, and I hope Sunday services bring some small comfort to the families who are left behind. x
