Gawain 0 #2 September 15, 2008 That was a tough fight you chaps put up over there. Do you get the day off as part of the remembrance?So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!

shropshire 0 #4 September 15, 2008 I agree, they did a great job. No we don't get a day off, in fact most people wouldn't even know about the anniversary - but I'm ex-RAF. (.)Y(.)

I wish there was a way to elevate some of your vets in recognition. We get treated very well here, and I wish it were the same everywhere.So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!
