I think that\'s still relevant

My uncle was one of \'the Few\' aged just 19. he was killed in action a few months later aged 20, I had his picture on my desk at work with a poppy attached yesterday, and his brother was killed 6 months after that aged 19. I\'m ex-RAF myself.

A lot of vets in my family (my wife and I included). More significant for me as I was born at 11Am on the 11th day of the11th month.

Rodnik: Nice story, I was a Ranger too..that was great.
