Veterans Day

I'd like to thank all those Americans who helped liberate Europe from the horrors of fascism. Without you good people Europe would be a Nazi concentration camp, or a Stalinist Gulag. I will never forget, and I put a flower at the "Unknown Soldier's" monument every year.
Thank you guys – I kiss you. 💋

Annoys me here in the UK when I see people not wearing poppies!

@Adec757 Wearing a poppy shows the Armed Forces community their service and sacrifice will never be forgotten. ♥️

Indeed! And now there are other colours too, a purple one to remember the animals killed. So no excuse! @helenS

@Adec757 Hat's off to the Italian mules that brought ammo and supplies to the soldiers
fighting in those muddy mountains. This picture is from a scrap book that my dad had.
He said that the mules helped them enormously.

@DogMan very easy to forget their role isn’t it! A great photograph!

@Adec757 Yes, the Italians were good photographers too. They made money off the soldiers by taking pictures.

I have about 25 pics from Italy, they were all sent home, and his mom put them in a scrap
book.
