Rememberence Sunday

I've posted a blog piece about a memory of this day that I have. I also think it was a good deal easier when I was young - no ambiguity about what we were celebrating; the sacrifice made by the men and women who defended these islands as we stood alone against the tyranny and barbarism of Hitler's Germany. Now it's a lot less clear; Britain has been involved, and is still involved, in conflicts based on morally ambiguous decisions but we should still remember those prepared to risk everything for their country.
