Remembrance Day

Remembrance day has always been a big thing within cadets and every year standing on parade is one of the most poignant moments of my year. I've been impressed with how cadets react to this day: there is always that cadet that acts out, the cadet that doesn't care, the cadet that likes to make a big out of everything. However not at this time of year, it's like they are suddenly reminded of what soldiers have done and been through, for them, for us.
Whilst it isn't the happiest time of year I think it's always good to take a step back and think.

They shall not grow old as we who are left grow old.
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and the in the morning.
We will always remember them.
