Thank you for my birthday greetings and everyone else who sent them.

Today is Veteran's Day in the States and in Britain Remembrance Sunday. I am watching the service on TV at present. Yesterday I went to the Memorial Gardens in Ashford and some of the poppy crosses and one reef was already there, here are the photos I took.

The only reef that was there yesterday

The only cross on the actual War Memorial yesterday which was placed next to his name on the Memorial. Today now there will be many many more there and if they are still there next Saturday I will take a photograph of them.

I have recorded last night;s Festival of Remembrance from the Royal Albert Hall and am recording the service from the Cenotaph and the march pass currently.

Anyone who would like a copy of the DVD showing what we do for Remembrance Day in Britain please freep me your address and I will mail it to you later this week.

Love
Eleanor

Snugs, thanks for the outstanding pictures for Veteran’s Day. They are all very nice and touching.

About the greeting, someone said after all the birthday greetings that your birthday wasn’t until Dec.7? In case I should forget on Dec.7....you have one now! Several! Whenever it is, hope it was/is great~~LOL~~

Lovely, Snugs!! We pay hearty tribute to our British ally veterans also. It is a big day in Canada, and when googling for images, learned about the Canadian tributes. I wear my poppy from the American Legion, in memory of all and in particular of SGT Robert T. Ayres, III, buried here at Los Angeles National Cemetery on October 10, 2007.

In Memory...

We remember and honor the loss of our British and American troops, Allies and Coalition.
