Remembrance Sunday

Had the parade tonight in Abu Dhabi, along with the Sheikh, Ambassadors, some senior military people, and parents. They all behaved themselves, and the service was only an hour long

From The National
“It is very different marking it overseas. It is a much more international event. We had ambassadors from over 40 different nations, a representative from the Al Nahyan family here and people who are serving on active duty here in the Middle East.

“We had Muslims and Hindus as well as all the whole tradition of the Christian Church. We even had a bishop from South Korea here – I was not aware that the South Koreans celebrated Remembrance Sunday but they do, remembering those who died in the Korean War.

“We hope people take away the message tonight that there is always hope, that God is always present in the midst of our crazy lives and a world of chaos, and we can trust in his justice, his righteousness and make sense of the loss of 200 million lives.”
