British, US and other Armed Forces Veterans are commemorating "Rememberance Day" during this time in November. Servicemen and women gave up their lives fighting during WW I & II, as well as conflicts/wars in recent years. Our hearts go to the families of the deceased who served in the Navy, Army, Air Force, Marines, Medical & Nursing Corps etc. "WE SHALL REMEMBER THEM".

I visited Old Ironside once when I was in Boston two summers ago and it was an amazing ship. I felt like being transported back in time, just like in that movie "Masters and Commander" (one of my all time favorite naval films). So, did you catch anything?
