Of all days of each & every year, today is the one you can start first thing with a tipple or a beer.
Far from hoping to get messy or end up causing offence, today is a day of respect & remembrance. Remembering all those before us who faced death & met it, so a world of choice & of freedom our generations would inherit.
Freedom to reject the crazy warmongers, whom despite all that was given, still live among us.
And crazy though it seems we can't escape the irony, many of those crazies come from the very lands that were set free!
So this day we must promise to ALWAYS remember that freedom ain't free, it can always be lost to greed, fear or some screwed up theology.
So though it may be cloudy, miserable and wet, today we rise early, lift a glass to the sky and say 'Lest we forget'.
While that Bugle cries out it's sad lonely sound, we remember those who now lie in the ground.
And when you're ready to show your mark of respect, there will be many others with whom you can reflect.
Respect and remembrance this morning will be found,
7:45am at the North Lismore War Memorial, Alexandra Parade, Lismore Showgrounds.
Lismore Farmers Market
