[quote="[DAS REICH] Blitz":67938]LEST WE FORGET
rip ww1 veterans annoy:[/quote:67938]There are no more WW1 (Canadian) veterans this year 2005, they have all died. I was listening to the radio about this guy and his brother rushing Juno beach and the guy told his brother to give them hell cause he was in another boat ahead of him. Well there objective was to rush the beach and keep running and not stop for nothing, the guy was running through the water and saw his brother dead, shot in the heart. But he kept running to the beach to accomplish his objective, didn’t even drag his brother to the shore. Those guys had balls! |

The Two Minute Silence at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month represents the moment when the guns fell silent in November 1918 at the end of the First World War. As Big Ben chimed at 11am, an estimated 45 million people stopped what they were doing to honour those who fought and died for their country. Britain's oldest veteran, 109-year-old Henry Allingham, travelled to France to lay two wreaths, including one at the first permanent memorial to the 4,700 British air personnel who died while fighting on the Western Front in the Great War. Frail but resolute, Mr Allingham returned 88 years after last serving at the barren aerodrome at St Omer, near Calais, which became the largest British airbase in Europe during the First World War. With tears in his eyes, Mr Allingham, from Eastbourne, East Sussex, the last surviving founder member of the RAF, spoke of returning to the airfield, and of his fellow servicemen who died in the conflict. He said: "By coming here, you recall things you want to forget. I do the best I can. I come here to pay homage to these brave men." In the capital, for the first time the annual remembrance Day Service was held at City Hall, while the London Eye was illuminated in red and stopped moving as those inside paid their respects.
