Goodness, Honor, Trust, Respect ... Values & Purpose
Lest we forget ... on the 80th anniversary of D-Day the world comes together to remember the huge sacrifices made by all those who fought for our freedom - and to ensure future generations could flourish.
King Charles III, at the end of his speech today, made these poignant remarks:
"Among the names inscribed on the walls and pillars of this memorial are men and women from more than 30 different nations and many faiths. United, they fought together for what my grandfather, King George VI, described as ‘a world in which goodness and honour may be the foundation of the life of men in every land’. As we stand alongside their remaining friends and comrades on this hallowed ground, let us affirm that we will strive to live by their example, let us pray such sacrifice need never be made again and let us commit to carrying forward their resounding message of courage and resilience in the pursuit of freedom, tempered by the duty of responsibilities to others for the benefits of younger generations and those yet unborn. Our gratitude is unfailing and our admiration eternal.”
We have much to do to honor the legacy afforded to us and to once again build a world where Values are Valued ... and if we fail to do this, they will, quite rightly, not forgive.
