  It is Veterans Day tomorrow; I hope every single veteran has a great day.
  
  It should be a day of celebrating the contributions of veterans living in our communities, a day for us to spare a thought for our boys and girls serving us today out in Iraq and Afghanistan, for all those that have given in the name of freedom.
  
  God bless em all.

  Here, here Harry. I hope everyone stops for a short while today and thinks about what the veterans have done and the present generation of troops are doing for all of us.

  Couldn't agree more.
  
  Is there a service in Dover ?
  
  Our guys and girls deserve much more respect than many people give them and those who have fought and survived, should be respected and honoured too.

  Absolutely. We should celebrate veterans and raise awareness in our young people. Is there a service or ceremony in Dover?

  I hate to mention this but a certain person (featured with conflicting stories in the local press) is hell bent on Dover having the main celebrations in Dover next year.

  According to the website there is a service in Deal and Folkestone.
  
  Wouldn't be surprised if there is something at the Castle as that always seems to happen unannounced....
  Been nice knowing you :)

  Town Council perhaps, as it seems as if that is the organiser in Folkestone at least.

  Hear hear, all.
  
  The veterans should always be revered, respected, commemorated and remembered in our lovely region.
