Remembrance Day
Hi there,
Today I am thankful that we live in NZ during Peace Time.
Thank you to all those who served and sacrificed with their own lives or by being the ones who were to stay at home and farewell their husbands, sons, brothers, and friends.
Thank you to all those who continue to protect the innocent, who fight for injustice on every level and who bring peace wherever they can.
We don't have to go to fight in some horrid war to stand up for someone being mistreated - we don't have to leave our shores to fight for injustice or to bring peace to people.
If they did this for me and for my family, what can I do to respect what they did?
No greater love has someone that he should lay down his life for his brother/friend/stranger and in our case for people who are not even born yet.
Sincere thanks and today I choose to remember you and give thanks and say I am sorry that you had to suffer.
The first three pictures are the ghosts of soldiers silently standing over their graves in the St John's Churchyard, Slimbridge. It floors you to silence and moves you to tears. Well done creator Jackie
Lantelli, for a stunning tribute to those who gave their lives 💜
The photo of the crosses is from the Auckland Domain where there is a cross for every soldier who died in WWI. 18, 277 crosses are there to see. The second photo shows the section for the brothers from one family.
A special place for 2 brothers, then 3 brothers and then would you believe, families who lost 4 brothers.
I can not even begin to imagine.
Peace and Courage to you
