Remembrance Day

 , the Cham letter finial for ' P '


Hi

 so we've got 5:30 in the morning and I'm waiting for the coffee to perk. I guess I'm up the day starts.

 Can I start? I don't know. Anyways, we shall see what we shall see. Thanks!

I suppose that somehow, Remembrance Day or Veteran s Day meant something

However, 3 years ago, we stood in the underground bunker where Winston Churchill stood on the last day ' of the Battle of Britain '. Calling "the morning of September 15, 1940 the Battle of Britain Day, acknowledges that after a months long desperate air struggle between the RAF and the Luftwaffe, something broke.

As we looked up at the " big board " we saw no green lights. You see that morning every fighter was airborne - no reserves.

The Luftwaffe lost so many planes [ and crews ] that the High Command could not envision surviving if they continued.
Thus, the Battle of Britain, ended. The skies over their Island home of Britain were secured !  

Would the ' far flung colonies and member states of the Commonwealth and their allies ' have continued the fight against Germany [ and Italy] ? Who knows !

But the September morning, ' never have so many, owed so much to so few ' spoke Churchill.

Lest We Forget
