    Yep, I did. I was surprised at how many people carried on about their normal business.

    I was out on site. I stopped. The other guys expressed surprise that they’d missed it, but stopped also.

    My paternal grandfather served in all 3 US services. He was a gem.
    My paternal step grandfather was one of the Rats of Tobruk. I don’t speak ill of the dead, but I’ll make an exception for him.
    My maternal grandfather (who is 104) couldn’t serve for medical reasons, but was the only guy in WA who could oxy weld aluminium aircraft fuel tanks, so spent the war as a civvie up at Pearse patching holes in aircraft.

    I have immense respect for those that put their lives on the line so I and my family can have a good life and I’m thankful that we’re not likely to be in that position again where my child is likely to be called up. My uncle was conscripted in the 60s and survived (unlike one of his mates).

    Those who ignore or deny history are doomed to repeat it.
