Today we celebrate the bravery, selflessness and heroism of all of our soldiers.
This is so important to me. It touches my heart every time I think of what all the men and women who fought for their family and friends were able to overcome and do for each of us.
Because this is so important to me, I felt this should be the first time I lead my team in an inspiring and heartfelt tribute to my family.
Details of My Book will be available once my family has seen it.
Our living veteran, Karon also brings inspired emotion:
"Both Andy and I are ex-Royal Air Force and we wear our Veterans badges and poppies with pride :-)
Andy served 18 years and I did 9 years, both in the Royal Air Force. So proud of that time of my life and made so many life long friends."
Diana pays tribute with a moving piece featuring in Flanders Fields
Cathy, remembers her family with a fantastic collection of charms and poppies
Julia paid homage with a wonderfully emotional painting
Don't forget to take a moment today to remember Your Heros, Our soldiers.
