I’m a Yank Combat Veteran. The US Veterans Administration takes so much better care ( even though it’s 3-5 on a 10 scale ) of us , as compared to the UK Warriors. But we never have events like this , where Veterans put on suits , fall in and march with the Soldiers , Sailors , Marines and Airman like you do. After 9-11, my ex gf and I needed a short holiday. We ended up in London on or near Remembrance Day ... it was awesome to see Veterans dressed up , wearing medals and looking 4.0. How I wish I could do the same SF

Mike Paz Thank you for your kind words. One of my favourite parades was one on Victory over Japan day where thousands of British veterans who fought in the Burma campaign, were POWs of japan, sailors and airmen of the British Pacific fleet marched through London in their suits and berets.

I’m more familiar with ex-service personnel wearing berets; indicating past service, for example on Armistice Day. I assume Wolfhound must have been retired suddenly due to health reasons, they could have borrowed mine but he would sit or lie down at every opportunity. Thanks again.
