Ironic Surrealism II

What the HELL? This is disgraceful! I am thoroughly disgusted, as most I’m sure.

Oh my I can see how a Soldier in uniform shopping with his wife and his 1 year old child, would upset and intimidate other shoppers. Attention Harrods: You are running a business in a free country that Soldiers fight to defend with their lives. The least you could do is give them respect!

Harrods bans soldiers on Poppy Day

A serving Army officer was banned from entering Harrods on Remembrance Day in case his uniform upset other shoppers.

Lieutenant Daniel Lenherr had just taken part in a parade honouring Britain’s war dead when the London department store turned him away at the door.

The security guard told him other customers might be intimidated by the uniform.

Upset whom??? A bunch of snivelling whiny liberal sheep? I have one thing to say to them, …. sod you, you ingrates, sod you!

Remembrance Day (Poppy Day)

Remembrance Day is observed throughout Britain in commemoration of the million or more British soldiers, sailors and airmen who lost their lives during the two World Wars. On that day special services are held in the churches and wreaths are laid at war memorials throughout the country and at London’s Cenotaph, where a great number of people gather to observe the two-minute silence and to perform the annual Remembrance Day ceremony. The silence begins at the first stroke of Big Ben booming 11 o’clock, and is broken only by the crash of distant artillery and perhaps by the murmur of a passing jet. When the two-minute silence is over, members of the Royal Family or their representatives and political leaders come forward to lay wreaths at the foot of the Cenotaph. Then comes the march past the memorial of ex-servicemen and women, followed by an endless line of ordinary citizens who have come here with their personal wreaths and their sad memories.
On that day artificial poppies, a symbol of mourning, are traditionally sold in the streets everywhere, and people wear them in their button-holes. The money collected in this way is later used to help the men who had been crippled during the war and their dependants.

Who owns Harrods you may ask? Well…Mohammed al fayed does. [Sneer]

H/T Rogue Gunner “Harrods bans soldiers on Poppy Day”

Who also mentioned another disrespectful incident involving a British Soldier.

I posted this article in my last Blog but for those that missed it here is another episode of Military discrimination Soldiers turned away from bar after funeral.

For Queen, Country, and One Lance Corporal…

Can we question their patriotism now?

New Jersey to Veterans: Drop Dead?

This goes out to all of you. Thank you one and all for your honorable service!

And our US Millitary Men and Women too!

God bless you One and All! All allied Troops everywhere, defenders of freedom!

One more nod towards “Rogue Gunner” It just fits in to well. I found this quote on his sidebar.

”The willingless with which our young people are likely to serve in any war,no matter how justified,shall be directly proportional as to how they percieve the veterans of earlier wars were treated and appreaciated by their nation” –George Washington–

We need brave Men and women that have the willingness and courage, to stand up to serve, to protect our homelands against all that may threaten democracy. And they should ALWAYS receive the RESPECT they DESERVE!
