A bit late but didn't get round to posting it yesterday and I felt that I should post this up.
Yesterday (1st Sep) was the 70th anniversary of the start of World War II...I cannot believe it's already been 70 years (and here I am only as a 19-year-old talking as if I'm 90! XDDDD)
But yes, returning to a more serious note: let us not forget the past and the sacrifices of those who are no longer with us and fought to end tyranny and destruction. As the 18th Century Tory politician, Edmund Burke said so succinctly: 'The only thing necessary for evil to flourish is for good men to stand by and do nothing.'
