My husband was in London on business one year when the Jewish Memorial Service was held in Horse guards Parade and the Cenetaph. It was a miserable, cold, dark, wet day and people were lining the streets to cheer these elderly soldiers, some in wheel chairs, some walking on canes, some on walkers. It has never left my memory.
