Nice words, thanks Jason. And that’s a great local event you have each year.
I also like and appreciate the idea of your Poppy handing down his medals to you. I might do something similar with mine, my fathers (WW2) and my uncles (WW1).
Cool here in Perth tomorrow, but no rain.
Oh, almost forget to mention my theory. Many century’s ago, The King always mounted his horse and led his troops into battle. If that was made compulsory today (by law), there would be no wars today.
Thank you for that article. And we will never learn. I'm 72 and still remember those days of the Vietnam War. I was a kid but the feelings I have take me back to that time. I just wished that war would be no more. I also thank you grandfather for his service. God bless! 'Berta
Thank you for sharing your grandad and his story. Very moving. You and your sister were so lucky to have him in your lives. I also loved reading about the Gallipoli memorial, and that Turks attended also. Not forgotten by either side after so long. 💛
Read it last year through tears. Reading it now, again through tears. My profound thanks for sharing it again. I wish I could say it makes me hopeful, but I think your words are even more needed today. I'm not quite as old as your grandfather, but I share his sentiment: People will never bloody learn. Blessings...
AMAZING story.......goodonya Poppy (and you too Jason!) My sister lives in Woolongong and am sure they are marking the day also (or yesterday hehe).
Well said.
Thanks for sharing that post Jason.
Even his hand tells a good story of a tough life. Thanks for this.

If only . . . .

I don’t know… he’s pretty good at getting on his high horse.
I hear you. I thank you for this touching story. And for the history I didn't know.
Thank you.

Beautiful words. Beautiful Man. Thank you. <3
Great story! And I like that A.I. hand at the end.
Ha! Poppy's hand did look like a broken AI.
