Something to be proud of. (17)
Glitch101: A 99 year Veteran of the 2nd World War died recently in a Nursing Home in the UK. He had no close relatives to attend his Funeral on 11th. November Armistice Day, so through the media the Matron spot lighted this.
Below is the result of that plea.
What a wonderful send off he was given. Made me feel so proud.http://news.uk.msn.com/uk/harold-jellicoe-percival-hundreds-of-strangers-turn-up-at-dambuster-veterans-funeral

How fantastic! Thanks for highlighting that, G.
Some said he wasn't a hero but if it wasn't for him and his kind at the time, our futures would've, no doubt, been very different.
Every year I wear my poppy with pride for those who sacrificed so much.
God bless him.... he deserved it!

Thanks for posting Dandelion.
Even though I am anti war,anyone who goes to war to protect his country is a hero in my eyes.

May he rest in peace and a well deserved thank you for his service. Also, a big thank you to those who made his final parting memorable.

AS an ex serviceman myself (not a veteran) it warms my heart to see people still remember and care.
