Feature and Follow Friday (11th November)

 
Weekly meme hosted by the amazing

 
This weeks featured blogs: MotherLode & The Book Nympho

QUESTION OF THE WEEK: In light of 11.11.11 and Veteran’s Day tell us about your favorite solider and how he or she is saving the world. Fictional or real life.

The national day of war commemoration for Australia is Anzac Day which falls for us in April, at the 11th hour on the 11/11 (Remembrance, Poppy & Armistice Day) we also stop for silence to remember all of the soldiers who have lost their lives, have served or are currently serving to pay our respects.

We have one family member actively serving in Afghanistan at the moment and another has recently returned but continues to train, we aren't sure as yet when he'll have to return but hope he'll be able to spend a bit of time home and with his family. I am extremely proud of them and their contribution to our country.

They shall grow not old,As we that are left grow old, Age shall not weary them, Nor the years condemn.At the going down of the sun, And in the morning We will remember them. Lest we forget.

    8. In the US (at least parts of it), they take donations up for vets and in exchange they give you little fabric poppies.

    10. Hopping through. It's nice to learn a little about Anzac day. I like how other countries all celebrate on the same day.
