Hi,
It really puzzles me why some people can make the effort to attend parades and memorials but cannot make the small jesture of standing in respect.
Surely they must have noticed that a man, in a wheelchair, was making the effort of standing in respect, which, not knowing why he is in the wheelchair, may have been of great discomfort to him, yet they still sit.
I cannot understand why these people are not showing respect to those fallen and / or injured, whether it be in combat or during civil duty.
Without these parades and memorials those fallen and what they fell for will be forgotten.
Stand up! Show your respect!
