Words really aren't sufficient in expressing the gratitude and honor I have for my Dad and all the other brave men and women of the "Greatest Generation" who fought for freedom and liberty. All too soon they will be gone.

Always is a big deal in Australia and yes we stopped to remember at 11am.
There is a group of historians [i believe] from Australia who have been researching for many years to locate a mass grave in Northern France of about 400 Britains and Australian killed during the war in 1916. Last year a dig was commissioned and a lucky bracelet was found and identified as being owned by an Australian solider. From there they went onto to locate many of the bodies of those lost in action..... a wonderful story of some dedicated individuals....Link to a local news story:
