That's a great post. I took my 92 year old mother to the Prime Minister's residence on Sunday for the annual Rememberance Day ceremony. She received a medal for her service in the Auxilliary Territorial Service (ATS) British army. I watched and listened to the aging, dwindling procession of old soldiers and sailors as they delivered speeches, told stories and sang old army songs and I could plainly see the grit and magnificence that drove them to leave their island homes to enter into voluntary service during WWII.
