Remembrance Day

Today is Remembrance Sunday, which is celebrated along with Remembrance Day (November 11th) also known as Poppy Day, in the UK. For those of you who know your 20th century history, it's for the end of WWI and is known as Veterans Day, formerly Armistice Day, in the US. Unfortunately I have not seen much of the actual observations today, but you could hear a large bagpipe and drumming procession that left King's College Chapel a block over. On the hike to Dunnottar Castle, we passed the war memorial for the servicemen of Stonehaven that were lost in the two world wars. Even from such a tiny town it was such a long list. The inscription around the top of the memorial read, "One by one death challenged them and one by one they smiled into his grim visage and would not be dismayed." Remember what others have done for you, thank a veteran!
