Pearl Harbor's 85th Anniversary: A December 7, 2026 Visitor's Guide https://www.hawaii-guide.com/blog/national-pearl-harbor-remembrance-day-visitor-guide?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #PearlHarbor #Anniversary #RemembranceDay #History #Memorial

The UK had a furore over a fake Admiral at #RemembranceDay in #Llandudno, while #KingCharlie was an authorised fake #FieldMarshal in Whitehall.

But inbreeding is not the UK's approved only path to fake military rank.

#GilbertAndSullivan's "Sir Joseph Porter" was a parody of W.H. Smith, the eponymous bookseller whose political career led him to be #FirstSeaLord.

"He thought so little, they rewarded he
By making him the Ruler of the Queen's Navy!"

The #poetry of #armisticeday https://www.gkc.org.uk/gkc/books/elegy.html #gkchesterton #ww1 #ww2 #remembranceday #poem

Remembering the lives marked by war — and the systems that keep demanding more of them.
Peace is not an endpoint.
It’s how we choose to care in the midst of harm.
May we keep practising, together.

I pinned my medals on already. #GoodMorning #Bonjour #Moin
I haven't worn them since I retired, but I will today, for the #RemembranceDay ceremony at the cenotaph. I'm a 3G #veteran, my GFather fought in WWI & WWII, my Father a peacekeeper & I did 33 years myself. I've always been in the 'military'. Today I will #RememberThem .
And for all that served, and those who paid the ultimate sacrifice.

To remember is to work for peace. This morning at the Old Strathcona Farmers Market a group of us got together to quietly stand for a #ceasefirenow. #yeg #whyteave #oldstrathcona #peace #yegactivist #remembrance #remembranceday
