Not this year, but when I was in Hungary I went to the Solymar Cemetery[^] each year for the Rememberence Service lead by the British Ambassador. One year it was bitterly cold and as the Bugler started The Last Post the snow began to fall...

listening to veterans planning which restaurants they will eat at today as many give veterans a free meal today.
Remembering 40 years ago when returning veterans were spat upon.
Times have changed.

Being from Canada, it is Rememberance day; living in the U.S., it is Veterans Day. Regardless of the name attached to a day, I salute those brave people who fought for my freedom, even if it was before I was born.
My grandfather, E. T. Carmichael served overseas during W.W. I, and worked on the Gander, NL airport construction during W.W. II
My uncles, C. Carmichael, G. Ellerton and F. Pascal served overseas during W.W. II
My friend, D. Davis, wno served in the U.S. Army and will be having lunch with my daughter and myself today.
My thanks on behalf of my self and my family.
Tim Carmichael

I think that would be political in nature given the events that happened on that day and the antagonists involved.
If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.-John Q. Adams
You must accept one of two basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe, or we are not alone in the universe. And either way, the implications are staggering.-Wernher von Braun
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.-Albert Einstein

Perhaps I'm being naïve. My thinking is that that the act of remembering others is important regardless of which side of a particular border that you happen to be. Do the British take personal offense every 4th of July (perhaps they do - I don't know!)?
Of course I recognize that there (at least) two sides to every story, but I guess I'm just hopeful that we could come together in recognizing and remembering those who fought and those we may have lost without it becoming more than that. There's no political agenda here - just the act of remembering.

I don't disagree, just saying it is political. Anything where two or more people are involved is automatically political.

I always do make the effort for the 2 minute silence on the 11th, before/after observing (Sunday) the service from London. For some odd reason this year I couldn't. Feelin' guilty!

So? He'll have to stick to chicks with small "assets" of course - that should take up less bandwidth...
