XM195 Posted November 11, 2017 Report Share Posted November 11, 2017 That's what I love about US. Values like patriotism and service for your country are still important! In Europe such way of thinking is so long gone... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because we Europeans are all 'friends' again does not mean we do not remember or pay our respects. My Great Great Uncle died in WW1. My Grandfather fought in WW2. Today, at work, we commemorated Armistice Day. Everyone stopped work at 11:00am for 2 minutes silence. Having served in the armed forces with people who have lost friends and comrades in conflicts, I feel duty bound to speak on their behalf. Today I watched Black Adder 4 - a (very) British comedy about WW1. Even that brought a tear to my eye. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sogeha Posted November 11, 2017 Report Share Posted November 11, 2017 On one of my regular peregrinations to Poland my tight-fistedness came to the fore and I decided to avoid the motorway through Normandy and take the backroads. Passing war cemetery after war cemetery after war cemetery was actually quite heartbreaking. And don’t even get me started on the number of combat vets on the streets. It is an outrage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanuq Posted November 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2017 I had a chance this year to spend some late nights talking with my dad about his service in Korea. He never talked about it much before. Now I know why. He talked about Chosin Reservoir and how they won several Presidential Unit Citations. I've always sent him "thanks for your service" emails and nice pictures on this day, but now those seem pretty hollow. Those boys are made of pretty stern stuff.
