Honour the covenant

Even though I really didn't fit into English society, there are certain things about the old country that I still cling to, and Remembrance Sunday symbolizes those things.

Let's be clear.. I am not a knee-jerk jingoist, and I was against the Falklands War. But that doesn't mean I don't fully and unreservedly acknowledge the duty and sacrifice of the people who served in that or other conflicts.

The poet Horace wrote: "Dulce et decorum, est pro patria mori". He had a point.

To all our servicemen and servicewomen, thank you.
