Remembrance Day Around The World

[Phil Waterman]

Hi All

Just returned from taking part in Remembrance Day or as it is known in the States as Veterans Day. Driving up to the State Veterans Cemetery to take part in the Commemoration Activities has become sort of the end of the driving season activity for our local MV club.

This year after a particularly contentious election campaign it was particularly remarkable and pleasant to have politician actually having something productive and important to say instead of their campaign speeches.

In particular a comment was made on the history of the day and that it is known in the Commonwealth Nations as Remembrance Day.

This year the trip up 51 miles was made in temperatures in the low thirties the return trip nearly 60 degrees.

Cheers Phil
