This Sunday is rememberence Sunday here (UK).  As usual I'll be with my colleagues from the Special Constabulary who'll be closing our little town centre to traffic and helping people pay their respects to the dead. 

This act of rememberence means a great deal to me and I tend to get a bit maudlin remembering what these men and women (and animals) gave up.  Sadly every year we get people who should know asking "What's happened?" (why are we closing the roads) and demonstrating real ignorance when we explain.  Sometimes we have to deal with peoples anger and disobediance (that we're preventing them from driving through a crowd of people to get to an ATM for example). 

I have no idea what kind of history is being taught in schools these days

I occaisionally read memoirs and whilst listening to radio 4 I heard about this one:  www.greatgrandfatherswar.com. 

Whether or not you're planing to observe the rememberence I hope you have a great weekend

TTFN,
Jason
