An item from the folks at the Commonwealth War Graves Commission.

Dear Michael, For more than a century, we have gathered at the same time on the same day, to bow our heads and think of those who sacrificed their lives for ours, during the two World Wars. But this year’s different. Whilst we can’t come together in person, we can still make sure their names burn bright. Not just for one day, but for all the days (and nights) to come. So this year on Armistice Day, we’ll look up to the stars in our night sky to remember those who fell. All 1.7 million of them. And by naming the stars after them, we can make sure their names #ShineOn. Join us to look up into the night sky at 7pm on 11.11.20 to remember those who fell during the two World Wars. Visit CWGC.org/ShineOn to join us and to name a star in remembrance. #ShineOn. Share on Facebook Name a star Add event to calendar Copyright © 2020 CWGF, All rights reserved.
