Several of my great-grandparents served in WWI - one of my father's grandfathers was in the RAF (where he served as a carpenter) and one of my mother's grandfathers was a an engineer who served at the Somme (and died of his injuries just after the war). Other family members served in WWII.
Today is a day of remembrance for those who have risked - and in many cases given - their lives for what they believed in. In fact its the 90th anniversary of the end of WWI, supposedly the "war to end all wars" which sadly was not the case; even today I have friends who've been deployed to Yugoslavia, Iraq and Afganistan.
(and just to keep in on-topic for a World of Warcraft blog ... that's the Grom Hellscream Memorial in Ashenvale).
