REMEMBERING

-
The B J villagers and UK citizens everywhere annually recall and REMEMBER on the 11th day of the 11th month those who fell and died in our Nations’s conflicts.

-
These visual signs of respect and thanks by the Nation are always physically shown and seen on -

-

Remembrance Sunday every year at hundreds of Cenotaphs sited in villages, towns and cities

-
WE WILL REMEMBER ! .. ,..

-

Will We?, Do We? .. .. Evidently not necessarily so..

-

For only 10 of the 4000 or so Burton Joyce residents were at the Cenotaph this year - to remember, pay their respects and show their gratitude for those who made the ultimate sacrifice

-

WHY ? Why? Why? On this “Sunday of National Remembrance”

-

Why -No official village representative at the cenotaph at the 11th hour?
Why -No British Legion representation?
Why -No Clergy representative from any of the 3 village churches?
Why - No single sign of Remembrance - public or private place at the cenotaph

-

"Only one simple small poignant cross brought and laid there by one of the ladies present"

-
Are these the reasons why I feel so low and dissappointed on this

"ANNUAL NATIONAL REMEMBRANCE DAY" ?
