As we prepare to remember our fallen heroes and give thanks for their bravery and sacrifice, remember also the message we carry forward.
Remembrance Day.
Lest we forget. This is a day of remembrance.
Do not allow genocide, torture and victimisation of nations to recur. We fought for freedom against zealots, biggots and facists to create a peaceful and safe world.
Don't let our poppy become an excuse to start your own war of hate. Even if some are offended, even if they object, turn your gaze peacefully away. Don't be angered and don't be drawn into your own crusade of hatred against one or many.
Stand proud.
Don't turn the sacrifice of our families into a vehicle for war, whether on social media, on the street or on the battlefield.
