Armistace Day 23

Eleventh of November is armistice day A day in the year where we remember Remember what I hear you say The sacrifice of many far far away They fought for freedom Did not die in vain Our lives would have changed Those survivors still suffer the pain The symbol is iconic A red poppy is worn This is a real topic To remember those who's lives were torn A sailor a soldier an airman involved Whether supporting or on the front line Thier stories must remain being told They all signed up and hoped to be fine Casualties fall in conflict This is a fact of war Surviving there is no trick Heads up and do your tour So when you see them marching through your town With shiny boots and medals on thier chest Give them respect and don't be a clown These women and men have fought there best Remember there not doing it for glory It's for friends from conflicts they have lost If you ask them of their story Don't be offended if they don't host Some may discuss there times away Others may just clam up Rest assured they remember everyday If they do, please don't interrupt This year remembrance falls on the twelfth So when they are out and about Salute and pray for good health You may hear the Parade Marshall shout British Legion FALL OUT
