as time moves on an the war veterans dissapear do you think that slowly people will stop observing rememberence day ?

because another 15 years will see pretty much all of the WWII veterans gone and another 5 years for all the WWI veterans to die off poor old sods

I think people of my age (30's) would still remember the fallen and continue but the youth of today dont seem to give two sheets and are to buisy drugging it or stoning 65 year old grandfathers to death in parks in the name of fun...

I would say another 30 years and the whole rememberence day will just be a holiday on the calendar.

or do you think we will allways remember them ?

Well, the US has Veteran's Day and Memorial Day- one for the living and one for the dead. But I don't believe we'll be wiping either day off because it's not just WW1 & 2 that we dealt with. Even now we're in Iraq and 20 years from now those veterans and fallen soldiers will be remembered.

I was under the impression that the last WW1 vet died off a year or two ago.

I agree, they'd be around 107 if they were around.

there was some bloke on the telly the other day who was the last surviving veteran of the Battle of the somme but i could be wrong about WWI vets still being around

So long as our kids are educated on World War 2 and Hollywood keeps churning out the occasional Saving Private Ryan, I think it'll be difficult to really "forget" the war and stop remembering it. The people die, the world changes, but the ideals of good, evil, sacrifice, freedom and all that jazz are timeless so to say: they'll always be worth a day in our society's spotlight.

Doesn't every generation decide the one after them doesn't care about anything and is too busy listening to that evil rock music to remember the sacrifices their elders made? I doubt it will go away for a long time... at least until the next world war.

It will be forgotten. It's the way things go.

Well, down here we have "ANZAC DAY" on 25th April and the attendances at the Dawn Parades have been increasing every year - mostly by those under 20.
People may think of it a little differently but, in the end, it's in rememberance of those who went to War and those who didn't come back.

Well do you lot remember some of the big wars before WW1 (although there has been little on the scale you get my point)? Its right its memory fades over time in my opinion.
