"Remembrance day is to remember those who died doing their duty in war."
Sorry, but for me it's more than that. I remember all those who came back from war with physical and mental injuries which change the rest of their lives, those who suffered at the hands of the Japanese during WW2, those who lost loved ones during the bombings of our cities, the list goes on.
But in particular, I remember my father who spent six years of his early life fighting in WW2 and my grandfather who fought for four years in the trenches. Because they did, I didn't have to.
