The Ode of Remembrance
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.
Lest we forget!

Remembrance Poppies
Today is the day that, in Canada, people start wearing Remembrance Poppies. Even tho' I live in the States now, I will be wearing mine. I wear an American Legion Poppy in honour of my Father, Perry Weismiller, PFC, Hq&Hq Sqdn, 8th USAAF, 1941-1945, and my Uncle Roy Wisemiller, Pvt, AEF, 1917-1918. I wear a Royal British Legion Poppy in honour of my Grandfather, Charles Albert Oxley, Gnr, Royal Field Artillery, 1914-1918, and a Royal Canadian Legion Poppy in honour of my Uncle, Charles Sluggett, Sgt, The Canadian Scottish Regiment (Princess Mary's), 1939-1945 and Korea.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
