Kindness like this doesnt seem to get praised. WHY?

Watching the ceremony this morning, the "Poppy-Cabs" WERE mentioned, a few minutes ago.

But, as you say, never hits the press....

I seem to recall reading that the London Cabbies take the veterans over to France for remembrance gatherings.

That's right Liz, they've been doing it for years, but as Norman mentioned, goes pretty much unreported...

But there's not many left, now. Just 50, according to the reports on the TV coverage today

But, of course, it's not just about WWI or WWII, It's about all lost servicemen & women, Korea, Falklands, Afghanistan, etc....

It is so heart warming to know human kindness still exists...
