Every year, I get a similar question, and so I thought that I would explain why we have these new images on the boards. As we approach 11th November, we arrive at Remembrance Sunday. For those unaware, it signifies the anniversary of the end of the First World War, and is now taken as in international day of memory and thanks for all those who have fought in all wars, although this particular date and custom appears strongest here in the UK. I choose to mark this event on this site. This is the only official event that this site marks. I dont want to get into political debates, and I dont want to open the doors to many other, equally deserving, events. I chose to mark this event in respect of all people, from all nationalities and backgrounds, who have fought, and in many cases sacrificed, for the principles that they believe in, and the world that we live in, no matter what side they were on. I don't decorate this site for any other events - we don't put Christmas decorations up, and we don't pretend to be Hello Kitty for April Fools. I strongly believe that, as members of a hobby closely related to these events, we have a responsibility not to take this for granted, and to remember. In addition this year, feel free to make any personal dedications or remberances. Thank you. Iain |

I second your sentiment, Iain. We also mark the 11th in Canada with what we call "Remembrance Day" and poppies (In Flanders Fields being written by a Canadian). |

A small gesture but worthy one that honours all who dies on all sides in several wars. Lest we forget..... |

Here in the us we call 11-11 Veterans Day. To honor those that have served. I agree with Iain. None of us should forget anyone who served no matter which side they were on. |
