The recording ended and all I could say was – Oh MY God!! – I needed to get up and walk around before I could type – I wish I had seen this yesterday, I wouldn’t have put in my own post!!!!
Monday morning I reblog the whole kit-and-kaboodle! I’m not taking the video without you getting credit for finding it!!
Don’t be silly, gpcox! It’s in the public domain and has been out for a couple of years, at least. ☺
BUT – I didn’t find it – YOU did!
Really good, thank you. People who desecrate memorials and graves are cowards who can only find enough of their own courage to attack people who cannot retaliate.
Yes Koji, you are right. I’ve seen this video before. And hope to see it many more times. There are some things that I wish we could banish from the internet….. And some things that need to be promoted fervently.

For ARMED FORCES DAY, I want to share this short video located by MUSTANG KOJI. This is a perfect addition for MILITARY APPRECIATION MONTH.
Incredibly moving. And, we need to do more to encourage and enrich the values of our children. They need to know these things and to learn viral doesn’t always mean worthy – viral is worded that way for a reason – spreads quickly and usually, makes one sick……
That was a very moving video…but not all young people need reminding.
When my mother could still march past the Cenotaph in Whitehall – at 91 – she was heading for the train home afterwards when a group of young people, seeing her poppy and medals, made a point of coming over to her and thanking her for what she had done which had made their lives secure. They then escorted her to the station and saw her safely on the train.
The few who desecrate war memorials don’t represent the majority of our youngsters…luckily.
Thank you for your visit! Yes, not all young people need reminding but many, many do. For some, its the first time they’ve heard of WWII. And you mention Whitehall and a poppy. Are you from England or thereabouts?
I worked in London for some time…then moved to live in France and am now in Costa Rica. My mother still lives in England – she was in the army (ATS) during the second world war.
Very well done with a wonderful message! Thank you for sharing!

Me too, My Friend. Thank you for sharing it.
Thank you, Russ!

You should put it in! You can download the link from YouTube. 🙂 More that see it, the better!

I agree 100%, sir. Total misfits and cowards…
Man, Koji … that was a terrific reminder.
Thank you, sir. I never tire of watching it…
Quite moving.
I think of Peggy’s dad!
Yes. And I add our son to the equation.
Me too Koji, me too.
Pretty moving, yes? Our young folks need to watch this instead of virals on insignificant things…
Yes Koji, you are right. I’ve seen this video before. And hope to see it many more times. There are some things that I wish we could banish from the internet….. And some things that need to be promoted fervently.
Fabulous, Koji! Love it.
I’m glad you did, Linda. Your flower macro was so sharp!
Very touching – brought tears to my eyes, especially when I think of those how gave their all and never returned home –
Indeed, Patty, indeed. I feel exactly the same.

Thank you so much!
Thank you, Koji. Very moving. ❤
Thank you, Paulette! I hope things are going well for you and your pooches…

Wholeheartedly agree. Critical messages are passed over for want of watching some bozo get his tongue stuck on a frozen pole…
Wonderful reminder. Thanks. I have two kids serving right now. I couldn’t be prouder.
I pray in my own way for their safety. We cannot do without them! Thank you! Military families need the country’s support!
Fantastic video. Thanks for sharing it with all of us.
Thank you for taking the time to stop by and watch it!

Thanks for sharing such a moving tribute to our armed forces!
Thank you for your visit, sir.
Very moving. Thank you for sharing. I am posting this link on Facebook where others can see it as well and give it a bit more circulation.
Thank you, Mrs. P. You are very kind to let others know and appreciate our veterans.
