For those who observe 11th of the 11th, Rememberance Day. Now is time for you to put something together.

My feeble contribution

I am sure many of you can do better than this.
Guess what I used for the leaves

Wonderful tribute Sallyanne. Veteran's day is particularly sad for me since it will be the 9th anniversary of my mother's burial; today would be the 9th anniversary of her passing. Cannot believe it's been 9 years now; still remember like it was yesterday.

Oops, I posted a poppy picture in the Glass Ornaments thread, it was for practicing a background.

sallyanne,

A beautiful contribution, as always.

Having no artistic talent, my own contribution for the 18 million who died in the four years of World War I is a natural poppy photograph that I took many years ago.

david.

That's fine 2-ton. You still made something

That's a lovely photo David. Photography is an art on its own.

Sallyanne - you are aware that I recently visited France; along with many others in our party we visited Normandy, Omaha Beach and the US war cemetery nearby. It was an extremely moving occasion ... the French government in 2004 placed a commemorative monument on Omaha Beach called Les Braves ( http://www.normandy1944.org.uk/les_braves.htm ) .

Here is a photo manip from one of my photos; it's my 'artistic' tribute to 11/11 -

Gimper66 - living where you do I can well understand your contribution; well done.

In Australia the 'veteran' organisations have a poignant expression ...

.. at 11.00 am tomorrow many will observe a minutes silence.
