Remembering those who made the ultimate sacrifice in the fight for peace in wars and battles past. To those who gave their lives to free my country from the tyranny of World War II, I am forever grateful. Without those brave souls my upbringing would have been entirely different, if possible at all. #remembranceday2018 #remembranceday #veteransday #eternallygrateful #peacenotwar
